View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 47 and 48 together.
The Minister of Finance is not involved in operational matters of the Bank, however, having consulted with the Central Bank of Ireland my officials inform me that the Central Bank operate a specific risk based approach for prospectus supervision. Generally under the Central Bank's current risk based approach, all prospectuses for securities with retail denominations are reviewed as high risk resulting in a full four eyes review. Finally, it is important to note that the Central Bank are not in a position to comment on an individual application as they are subject to supervisory confidentiality obligations under Section 33AK of the Central Bank Act.
