While I respect Ms Rowland's points, she must agree that this investigation has taken an exceptional length of time, considering how long the matter has been in the media. The Central Bank has repeatedly made the point, including today, that its powers to hold individuals to account require strengthening. However, the Central Bank already has certain powers to hold individuals to account, which have been touched on by Deputy O'Callaghan. They involve the imposition of a reprimand, a fine and a prohibition notice. If people are seeking extra powers and responsibilities, why have the existing powers not been exercised fully by this point?
