Consumer Credit (Amendment) Bill 2018 (Resumed): Engagement with Central Bank of Ireland

Mr. Kevin O'Brien:

I would not use that phrase to describe our approach. Through our public consultations, consumer research work and outreach, we are very active in trying to engage with and understand the consumer. The legislation has not given us that individual face-to-face engagement as part of our role. Rather it exists with the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman.
