Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

As the Deputy is aware the Board of the bank is responsible for the day to day operation of the bank, including the appointment of and assignment of staff within the bank. The Minister's approval is required in relation to the appointment of senior management at the bank. The person to whom the Parliamentary Question refers is not or and has never been a member of the senior management team of the bank.
