Finance (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2020

Public bill · Government · Presented

Makes temporary changes to credit union rules so meetings can be held online or partly online, members can vote by proxy, and meetings can be postponed or reorganised when needed during the Covid-19 period. It also lets the Government extend the special Covid-related period if public health still requires it. In addition, it allows a member of the Fiscal Council to serve one extra consecutive term, and updates the State’s loan arrangements so the European Union can be treated as a lender for the relevant stability agreement.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to make provision for the holding of certain meetings of credit unions by remote means; having regard to the risk to human life and public health posed by the disease known as Covid-19, to make exceptional provision in relation to the operation of certain provisions of the Credit Union Act 1997 for a certain period and such further period (if any) as may be specified by order of the Government; to make provision for attendance and voting by proxy at certain meetings of credit unions; for those and other purposes to amend the Credit Union Act 1997; to make certain provision for the term of office of members of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council and for that purpose to amend the Fiscal Responsibility Act 2012; to make provision in relation to certain loan agreements entered into by the State with the European Union and for that purpose to amend the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010; and to provide for related matters.
