View answerThe Central Bank (or where appropriate the ECB) has responsibility for the authorisation of regulated financial service providers in Ireland. However, the Central Bank has advised that, due to confidentiality reasons, it does not comment on applications for authorisation. A full list of authorised firms is available on the Central Bank's website at http://registers.centralbank.ie/.
