THE CENTRAL BANK has issued a warning about an unauthorised US investment firm operating in Ireland.

The regulator published the notice today about Elliot & Laurence Consultancy Group. It said that although the company is not authorised as an investment firm in Ireland, it has been offering services here.

It is a criminal offence for an investment firm to operate in Ireland unless it has an authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland. Clients of such firms will not be eligible for compensation from the Investor Compensation Scheme.

The notice has been issued under the European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007.

Any person wishing to contact the Central Bank with information may telephone 01 224 4000.

The Central Bank has issued 91 warnings, naming 168 firms, since it gained the necessary legal powers in 1998.

    FYI,

    I had to delete a number of comments on this article as they started from an thread which was unrelated and off-topic.

    There were also personal remarks made about a person not mentioned in the article. Apologies for those whose comments were deleted even though they were trying to keep it on point but without the original, they look a bit odd!

    If anyone isn’t familiar with TheJournal.ie comments policy, it can be found here: http://www.thejournal.ie/comments-policy/

    Thanks,
    Sinéad

    Is it possible to have a more current picture of the central Bank or none at all, as people didnt go through a winter in tents just to be sidelined. Im not suggesting one with Rain in it, but the central Bank hasnt looked like that since october 8 2011. In syria Photo journalists have been killed attempting to represent a picture of the reality we are facing, Please the journal.ie express some respect.

      The Central Bank is a State owned property fulfilling a Statutory role that is crucial to our economic survival. It is staffed by Public Servants who have to gain entry to their place of employment by passing through a thoroughly disgusting shanty town populated by the bewildered the unkempt and unwanted.
      If these people have homes to go to I’m sure their presence on the steps of the Bank is a relief to their family members.
      Local businesses have been damaged by their presence and if they were travellers they would have been moved on long ago.
      Never mind unregulated Finance Companies it would be better for Senior Management at the Central Bank to seek a High Court injunction to remove this flotsam from their property before disease breaks out and the State is blamed!
