In her report, Chairperson of Cara Credit Union, Caroline Sugrue said; “Cara Credit Union has continued to deliver on its strategic priorities during 2019. Our assets now stand at €242m with members savings growing to over €200m and Loan Book increasing to over €90m for the first time.

“We are delighted to report a surplus for the financial year of over €1.6m in what continues to be an unstable economic environment. There has been an overall growth of €9m in the net worth on the Balance Sheet at 30th September, 2019.”

Ms Sugrue said the board continues to challenge the financial performance of the credit union and keep a tight rein on costs and an increase in members shares of €6.9m to over €200m has remained a challenge for the management team.

As with last year, the board is proposing a dividend of 0.01% at the AGM. “We feel this is a competitive and while the same dividend rate for the past two years, we are also able to strengthen our reserves,” said Ms Sugrue.
