Rose Conway-Walsh: With regard to transport, the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, comes down to Sligo and says the N17 is halted and is off the radar, when a lot of money has already been spent on it, the land has been sterilised all around it and things like that. How is that decision reached?

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thought it would be but I thought I would just ask in case Mr. Conlon had any enlightening comments. I thank the witnesses for this session today.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Central Bank of Ireland (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to return to the economic crime strategy. We were looking at the French model but I am sure there are others. Who should lead the strategy here? It seems many things are being done but we need somebody to bring everything together to have a co-ordinated plan, as outlined in the Hamilton report. I am referring to the interagency co-ordination, collaboration and a clear...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Central Bank of Ireland (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am trying to know more about who pulls all this together. Mr. Kincaid is saying the central bank in France pulls it all together. I am trying to be clear on why the Irish Central Bank would not do something similar if it works.

Rose Conway-Walsh: In France, do the authorities engage with the social media companies? What does that engagement look like?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Central Bank of Ireland (12 Jul 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Central Bank of Ireland (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is Mr. Kincaid concerned about the lack of urgency from the Government in dealing with it and in having that economic statute, especially with the advances in artificial intelligence, AI, and the possibilities around the expansion of fraud as AI develops?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Central Bank of Ireland (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am concerned about the lack of urgency because we are slow with this. We are not ahead of the curve.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Authorised Push Payment Fraud: Central Bank of Ireland (12 Jul 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Does the Central Bank have capacity to use AI in a positive way? As Mr. Casey said, it will take some of the work out, but personnel are needed to do the human side, once the information is available. That is why we need a co-ordinated strategy. When we have the fuller and quicker information, what do we do with it and how do we ensure we use it in a co-ordinated way to protect consumers?

Rose Conway-Walsh: On that, Mr. Casey correctly stated that the Central Bank has repeated its expectations of the firms it regulates as regards effective measures to mitigate the risk of fraud. They must be proactive in identifying and dealing with cases of fraud and engaging effectively with consumers. How does the Central Bank measure that? If firms do not do so, are there sanctions? What measurement does...
