A wide variety of financial entities are operational here in Ireland at present. Their oversight and management sits with the Central Bank. Were I to spend time engaging with every financial organisation in Ireland, I would not be able to fulfil other duties. While some of those organisations are subject to stringent ongoing scrutiny and regulation from the Central Bank, I judge it appropriate that the main point of contact they have is with the Central Bank and not me.
