The first language scheme of the Central Bank and the Financial Services Authority of Ireland, under section 11 of the Official Languages Act 2003, was recently confirmed by me. The scheme commenced on the 1 December 2006 and, as is provided for in the Act, is effective for a 3 year period from that date or until a new scheme has been confirmed, pursuant to section 15 of the Act, whichever is the earlier.

The scheme has been published and is available on the website of the Coimisinéir Teanga at www.coimisineir.ie.
