Central Bank Reform Bill 2010
Public bill · Government · Presented
Creates a single, integrated Central Bank of Ireland, governed by a new Central Bank Commission, replacing the separate Central Bank and financial regulator boards. It gives the Bank stronger powers to vet, suspend or prohibit people in senior financial-services roles, investigate misconduct, protect consumers and respond to threats to financial stability, while transferring some consumer-information duties to the National Consumer Agency. It also introduces tighter oversight of credit-union lending, improves the Bank’s accountability and financial reporting, and updates related legislation.
