I move amendment No. 3:

In page 17, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following: “(fa) the Central Bank,”.

This is a simple amendment. I do not understand why the Central Bank is not included on the list of organisations that should disclose relevant information to the authority, specifically with regard to breaches of company law codes. When I read the Bill first, I thought it was an oversight. We have discussed this previously. Why does the Minister of State not believe that the Central Bank can provide information that will materially assist the authority? Why has it been left off the list? Including it would make sense, and I do not see the sense in not including it. I would be grateful if the Minister of State could enlighten us on that.
