I have been advised that the public can consult the Investment Intermediaries’ registers by viewing them on the Central Bank of Ireland’s website (link below).

There are two registers for investment intermediaries – one for those intermediaries ‘deemed’ authorised by the Central Bank in July 2001, titled “Register of Investment Business Firms deemed to be authorised as Investment Intermediary (RAIPIs) pursuant to Section 26 of the Investment Intermediaries Act, 1995”; and another register for those authorised by the Central Bank since July 2001, titled “Register of Investment Business Firms authorised under Section 10 of the Investment intermediaries Act 1995”. They are generally updated every 2 weeks or more frequently, where required.

I have been advised by the Central bank that there is no legacy register for investment intermediaries.

The Central Bank has advised that the public can consult the mortgage intermediaries register by viewing it on the Central Bank of Ireland’s website under its Register of Firms section (). The relevant registers are 'Register of Mortgage Intermediaries' and 'Register of Mortgage Credit Intermediaries'. The Central Bank further advises that these registers are generally updated every two weeks, or more frequently where required. There is no legacy register for mortgage intermediaries. The Central Bank has also advised that there is no specific review underway or currently proposed in respect of the working of the register.
