In the time available the Office of Public Works were not in a position to compile the information requested. This will be sent directly to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
The Deputy may be aware that as regards the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland and the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority, while I have responsibility to Dáil Éireann in respect of the legislation governing these bodies and in respect of appointments to the relevant boards, I do not have responsibility for replying to parliamentary questions in respect of the day to day operation of these bodies, including any licensing or authorisation functions that are assigned to these bodies pursuant to relevant legislation. Information on the authorisation activities of the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority are set out in the annual report of the Authority.
