Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Ms Mary O'Dea:

My understanding is that the law gave you the power to codify regulations that would then be enforceable by these administrative sanctions. And that's what we did with the consumer protection code. The model in relation to prudential regulation is that they were not codified, that they were set out as guidelines, but they could have been codified, if that's the question you're asking me?
