Our Philosophy 
St Gabriel's is a financial co-operative owned and controlled by the members, for the benefit of the members. We encourage our members to save together so that we can lend to each other at a reasonable rate of interest. 
We are a democratic organisation with the members electing the board of directors, the supervisory committee and auditors at our AGM.
St Gabriel's is a member of the Irish League of Credit Unions, a representative organisation whose purpose is to strengthen and grow the credit union movement in Ireland.
