Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 May 2013
122. Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide a copy of the Crisis Management Manual, also known as the "Black Book", as it existed at the end of 2006 and-or as redrafted during the period August 2007 to September 2008 under the auspices of the Domestic Standing Group, as referenced in the Honohan report and the Nyberg report (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21091/13]
View answerThe document referred to by the Deputy in his question was drawn up by the Central Bank of Ireland to provide it with a set of processes and procedures to assist it in the management of a financial crisis situation. The question of releasing the document is therefore a matter for the Central Bank of Ireland in the first instance. The document was shared with the Department of Finance on the understanding it would be treated in strictest confidence given the nature of the matters treated in the document. I do not therefore propose to provide a copy of the document.
