Economic Issues: Engagement with Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland
Mr. Colm Kincaid:
It is what the legislation provides for. The logic of the legislation is that the entity that is either providing the credit to or engaging with the consumer about the credit, including on the issues we spoke about earlier in this session, is regulated. Other entities that provide funding to them and are the underlying beneficial owners of the assets are not regulated by the Central Bank. That is a feature of the legislative regime.
