The success of central banks in terms of service delivery and achievement of core mandate to the expectations of governments, the market and other stakeholders, is hinged on appropriate governance structures and practices that guarantee professionalism in policy decision-making.
I am also pleased that we are joined today by members of Dublin City Council, our neighbours from the Docklands area, the winners of our national schools competition Generation € 2017, and local schoolchildren who have engaged with the Central Bank through a number of initiatives including the Early Learning Initiative.
