Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I thank the witnesses for appearing before us. It feels like we could be engaging with the Central Bank every second day right now, there is so much happening. Like other members, I will keep my questions to the investigation into J & E Davy. My first question is for Ms Rowland. How many people does the Central Bank employ in its enforcement division?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: The more relevant question is how many of the Central Bank's employees were working on this investigation. Does Ms Rowland feel that the Central Bank had enough resources to carry out the investigation?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: Okay. The reason I am asking these questions-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I am aware I am pressed for time. The Davy consortium was formed in November 2014 and was subject to media reports four months later. In that light, we can only assume that the Central Bank discovered this transaction in March 2015. We have been waiting six years for this investigation to conclude. That strikes me as being an extremely long time. The witnesses spoke about needing extra...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: While I respect Ms Rowland's points, she must agree that this investigation has taken an exceptional length of time, considering how long the matter has been in the media. The Central Bank has repeatedly made the point, including today, that its powers to hold individuals to account require strengthening. However, the Central Bank already has certain powers to hold individuals to account,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I have two further points, if the Chair allows me the time. The Central Bank issued a press statement announcing the imposition of a fine on Davy. However, the public impression was that the company was fined but no individual was being held to account. No individuals have been labelled with fines and, as Ms Rowland said to other Deputies, she cannot go into the detail of any further cases...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Central Bank of Ireland: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

Neale Richmond: I refer to actions against individuals. There was and still is an impression that the fine, as Ms Rowland correctly said, is only being applied to Davy. The concern out there, as detailed by every speaker so far in this committee hearing, is that the initial impression was that no action would be taken against individuals. As Deputy Doherty laid out in great detail, there are concerns over...
