Why it might not be such a bad thing to be a financial policeman in Ireland
The number of people employed by the Central Bank of Ireland is comparatively huge.

Irish financial regulator on ‘significant’ recruitment drive
It’s safe to say that Ireland’s financial regulator is about to be a lot busier. It’s having to oversee the recapitalisation of the domestic banks, reduce their reliance on government funding, as well as make a raft of regulatory changes to bring Ireland in line with what’s happening globally. Not surprisingly, it’s on a major [...]
Jobs coming at the new regulator?
