The Central Bank of Ireland has advised that the public can consult the "Register of Mortgage Credit Intermediaries/Mortgage Intermediaries" and the “Register of Moneylenders” by viewing them on the Central Bank of Ireland’s Registers website registers.centralbank.ie/DownloadsPage.aspx, and this website is open to the public on a full-time basis and is accessible by the public at any time.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is responsible for the authorisation of credit intermediaries and its register of credit intermediaries is available on its website www.ccpc.ie/business/credit-intermediaries/authorised-credit-intermediaries/.
