    The Irish Central Bank (CBI), in common with other EU regulators, will be focused in 2018 on intensified supervision of anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist finance compliance, data protection, and ensuring banks and other regulated institutions have robust cyber security systems. However, in Ireland another area is emerging. This is the question of individual responsibility for increased regulatory scrutiny by directors and senior managers for regulatory breaches by their institution.

    The Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) regulates the banking and finance industries in Ireland. It has a broad range of investigative powers to allow it to perform its supervisory and regulatory functions. These include the power to enter into and search premises, take copies of documents and obtain information in other ways. The legislation protects the right to legal professional privilege (LPP) enjoyed by a person who is the subject of the exercise of those powers. However, the legislation is otherwise generally silent on issues such as the right to privacy of personal information. The interaction of regulatory powers with the right to privacy in our digital age has been the subject of much discussion recently in Ireland.
