We were honored to host Peter Oakes, Director of Enforcement at the Central Bank of Ireland at our recent breakfast seminar "The New Reality of Enforcement".
Message from the Director of Enforcement:

Peter extends his appreciation to the audience and also to those who asked questions during the presentation and those that asked questions at the conclusion of the seminar.
Peter reminds that those who will be caught by the ‘controlled function’ and ‘pre-approval controlled function’ definition in the Central Bank Reform Act 2010 should read Consultation Paper 51 and where they wish to contribute to the consultation, they should consider making a direct response should they feel their comments may not be carried by their industry/trade body.
