Covid-19 (Enterprise, Trade and Employment): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-02-18
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will have to check with the Minister for Finance, but my understanding is that if a bank gives somebody a payment break that does not affect his or her credit rating. I will double check that. We no longer have blanket payment breaks for everyone who requests them. People have to need them. My understanding is that once it is granted, it does not affect a person's credit rating. I will check the position.
