Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Bill 2002: Committee Stage.
The amendment seeks to place the position of the Director of Consumer Affairs at the heart of the new authority. This relates to the debate we had earlier about the two separate roles of the authority. It will act as a regulator for the banking industry in general and will also have the role of protecting the consumer. The amendment would enshrine the position of the Director of Consumer Affairs at the heart of that.
