Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 72 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Financial Regulator (Resumed)

3:30 pm

Mr. Matthew Elderfield:

We can make a reference to this as an issue to be looked at. If one had a wise person in each group or had one of the Departments do a Green Paper, one would want to look at best practice elsewhere. I do not think there is an off-the-shelf model; one could consider what the FBI does in some areas and what the UK Serious Fraud Office does in other areas. It has to be built in the Irish context. The Irish Constitution is different from other constitutions. The political culture is different and all such aspects have to be looked at. I think one would want to examine best practice elsewhere.
