Records related to proposed Irish legislation
Dear European Central Bank,
Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
All records held by the ECB including representations made by third parties and internal assessments related to proposed legislation in the Irish parliament to empower the Irish Central Bank to set caps on mortgage interest rates.
Thanks
Yours faithfully,
Declan O'Farrell
