Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: For every action there is a reaction. The British government must be involved at some level of policy development to try to prevent some of these things happening. Are the witnesses aware of any of that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: I thank Mr. Cross. The presentation referred to the financial stability risks. Obviously, as a country which has gone through the gamut of difficulties in terms of financial stability, what are the financial stability risks? Again, to a certain extent this is all based on conjecture because we have very few hard facts. What financial stability risks would be added to the country in this...

Peadar Tóibín: Financial services often create exposures for governments. Much of the focus is on the migration of financial services from London to Ireland. Given the trauma we have just experienced, which of those types of financial stability questions would come our way?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: The financial services sector is an area that is continually evolving and has created certain niches and very specific, focused or specialised areas. It encompasses areas that we in this country have not perhaps had experience of with regard to regulation. With regard to the capacity of the Central Bank to deal with the volume of work that is potentially coming its way and the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Brexit - Recent Developments and Future Negotiations: Discussion (Resumed) (30 May 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: To return to the issues of stability and exposure, the idea that there was a danger that we would end up with a shell-type firm with low value to the economy but high risk was discussed. Is there any way to mitigate it?
