Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Collapse of Setanta Insurance: Central Bank and Department of Finance

2:55 pm

Mr. Bernard Sheridan:

We had concerns, as I have outlined, but there was initially nothing to back them up in terms of any evidence. We raised the issue with the authority in Malta, which then confirmed what its position was on the firm. We continued to get information into the Central Bank about the firm. Our concern was how it was dealing with consumers.
