I am informed by the Central Bank that since 2006, 117 cases have been concluded through the Administrative Sanctions Procedure (ASP)/settlement procedure. This has resulted in the sum of €61,608,525 being imposed by way of monetary sanctions.
Public statements on the Central Bank’s settled ASP cases are available publicly on the Central Bank’s website.
Attached is a table in response to the specific question from the Deputy detailing settled ASP cases involving the types of entities and timespan specified.
