Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Engagement with the Central Bank of Ireland

9:30 am

Ms Derville Rowland:

The enforcement work scrutinises very closely all the kinds of things members were talking about earlier, namely, risk committee minutes, board minutes and a lot of the paper. It does so through the use of compulsory powers and it supplements that with face-to-face interviews with people, either as witnesses, who will have information about that or subjects of the investigation as well. Some of that is done on site in the Central Bank where we have facilities for tape recording of interviews and where one is required to attend for formal interview. If necessary, the officers would go to the institution but quite often the paper or the data are acquired from the computer systems.
