The practice to which the Deputy refers is not supervised or regulated by the Central Bank. For information, the Deputy may wish to note that the Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority ceased to exist with the commencement of the Central Bank Reform Act 2010 on 1 October 2010 and its regulatory functions were subsumed into the Central Bank of Ireland.
