Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. As I have indicated, the review is now well under way. The consultation period has closed. Submissions were received and are being examined. I have no doubt that the question of digitalisation and questions around crypto feature as part of those submissions. Once the budget is over I intend to sit down at an early date with the review team to engage to get a sense of the direction of travel and an early assessment from the team on the range of issues that have been raised in the consultation period, to be reassured about the timeline in respect of the outcome of the review because I will be anxious to consider as soon as possible once the review has been completed next year any policy issues that arise including taxation issues. I will pay particular attention to the digitalisation questions and the role of crypto that the Deputy raised. This is an area to which the Central Bank of Ireland is giving ongoing attention. I will be happy to engage further with the Deputy in that regard.
