As Minister for Finance, I have no role in the employment or departure of staff in the Central Bank. Under the Central Bank Act 1942, as amended, the Central Bank Commission is responsible for administrating the staffing of the Central Bank with a view to enabling the Central Bank to perform and exercise its functions and powers.

I have been informed that the standardised vacancy rate in the Enforcement Division of the Central Bank of Ireland is at 18% at present.  A recuitment process to fill the remaining vacancies is underway.
