Central Bank of Ireland Deputy Governor Ed Sibley to Join EY Ireland

Central Bank of Ireland deputy governor Ed Sibley is planning to join EY Ireland's financial

services unit later this year after a decade with the regulatory authority, according to sources.

The bank said that Mr Sibley, who became one of the organisation's two deputy governors in

2017, would be leaving at the end of August to pursue opportunities in the Irish private sector.

It added that he would step away from frontline regulatory and supervisory responsibilities, with

interim arrangements set to be announced “in due course”. Mr Sibley plans to join EY, a Big

Four accounting firm.

Mr Sibley grew up near Southampton in England and worked for the Financial Services

Authority in the UK. He also held a number of roles with both Bank of Ireland and PwC before

joining the Central Bank in 2012.

He was previously head of the supervisory section of banking supervision and director of credit

institutions supervision before becoming deputy governor in 2017 in charge of prudential

regulation.
