Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation)

The amendment at Regulation 2 is required due to an error made in the original Regulations. The correct reference in Regulation 14(13)(a) of the 1992 Regulations should have been “section 38”, as section 38 of the Central Bank Act 1989 is the section which confers powers on the Central Bank of Ireland to issue directions to credit institutions.
