Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 November 2015
201. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the number of staff employed in the Central Bank of Ireland's enforcement division; the number of these that relate to regulation of insurance firms; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40173/15]
View answerI am informed by the Central Bank that the Enforcement Division of the Central Bank currently has a staff complement of 57 full-time employees. The Enforcement Division is multi-disciplinary and uses a wide range of powers to investigate cases across the financial services sector. The allocation of staff within the Division to cases will depend on the requirements for each case. Staff within the Division are not allocated exclusively to one particular industry sector, such as insurance.
