The Bill that has come before the Seanad lists the Central Bank as an exempted body under the Bill. It is therefore exempt from the Ombudsman’s remit. It would be appropriate to ask why it is exempt when the Bill comes before the committee. There may be commercial or other reasons but we need to tease that out instead of going back to the Central Bank at this stage.
