Amharc ar fhreagraThe Governor of the Bank of England, Mr Mark Carney, visited Dublin on 27 January 2015 to deliver a lecture in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in honour of the late Mr Jim Flaherty, the former Minister of Finance of Canada.
That address is available as a webcast at the following link: https://www.dfa.ie/our-role-policies/our-work/casestudiesarchive/2015/january/iveagh-house-lecture-mark-carney/.
In advance of the Governor Carney's lecture I delivered a personal tribute to Mr Flaherty, with whom I had worked closely in our capacity as Finance Ministers.
Although I did not have an opportunity to hold a bilateral meeting with Governor Carney on this occasion, I attended a dinner hosted by Minister Flanagan for Governor Carney later that evening.
