Sponsored by Maples GroupThe Irish parliament is debating a bill which, if passed, would regulate the owners of Irish loan portfolios.

Since 2015, non-regulated owners of loan portfolios comprising loans to consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been required to appoint a regulated credit servicer to manage the portfolio.

However, in some political circles this regime has been perceived as providing insufficient protection to borrowers. -
