ed the community to an open day in the main office which includ-
ed light beverages and other treats.
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide
an effective and viable alternative to for-profit financial institu-
tions for more than 186 million members in 97 countries world-
wide. They exist to serve their members, providing a safe place to
save money and access affordable loans.
Youghal Credit Union Limited has over €80 million in assets with
shares amounting to €70.8 million and loans outstanding of €40.8
million. Youghal Credit Union Limited has sub offices in Killeagh
and Ardmore and services approximately 12,000 members.
Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated
annually on the third Thursday of October. Each year, the interna-
tional event affords the opportunity to remember credit unions'
proud history and promote awareness of and support for the cred- Kathleen Smiddy and Fiona Keniry enjoying a cup of tea with Youghal Credit

Your Credit Union - underlines the credit union and cooperative Promotion and Development Committee
spirit, emphasizing value, trust and service to members.
This year has seen Youghal Credit Union Limited invest in the
local community by lending €16 million to members. We believe
that most of that money was spent locally and generated business
for the local economy. Youghal Credit Union Limited was also a
major contributor to the local enterprise centre which has recently
been established to generate local sustainable employment.
Credit unions are not-for-profit financial co-operatives that pro-
vide an effective and viable alternative to for-profit financial insti-
tutions for more than 2.9 million members on the island of Ireland.
They are member-owned and exist to provide a safe place to save
money and access affordable loans. Currently Youghal Credit
Union Limited offers a fixed Home Loan rate of 6% which has
certain terms and conditions that apply. In the past number of
years Youghal Credit Union Limited has also paid a loan interest

CREDIT UNIONS UNDERSTAND MEMBERS' NEEDS
According to Kieron Brennan CEO of the Irish League of Credit
Unions.
"Credit unions are based in the heart of local communities and
have a real understanding of the needs of their members. In these
uncertain times, more and more people are turning to credit unions
as they become disillusioned with other financial providers. Credit
unions are all about people. They exist to serve members, not to
profit from their needs".
The ILCU represents 103 Credit Unions in Northern Ireland, with
almost 380,000 members, and assets of £885 million.
Earlier this year, credit unions in Ireland announced a new associ-
ation with Irish international rugby player Brian O'Driscoll. Over
the coming year Brian will be working with the Irish League of Paggy Lawton, Helen Waide and Nuala
O’Keeffe. Thomas and Lily Bulman
Credit Unions to promote both credit unions and credit union ini-
tiatives. This association will seek to highlight the very signifi-
cant contribution that credit unions make in local communities at
every level.
Commenting on the announcement Brian O Driscoll said "I am
delighted to have become involved with the credit union move-
ment at this time. I believe it is an important time for our commu-
nities and I have always greatly admired the valuable role that
credit unions have played in fostering a sense of belonging and
team work".
The Irish Credit Union movement is among the most successful in
the world with the highest membership per capita. Started in 1958
by 3 pioneers, Nora Herlihy, Séamus P Mac Eoin and Sean Forde,
the Irish Credit Union movement has steadily expanded its servic-
es to meet the changing needs of members over the past fifty one Valerie Walsh, Mary Morrisson, Geraldine Hearty & Barry Treacy
