Central Bank of Ireland — DORA competent authority for credit institutions, EMIs, PIs, investment firms, insurers and CASPs: scope, ICT reporting and evidence.

---

## Short answer

In Ireland, the Central Bank of Ireland is the integrated supervisor and the competent authority for the financial entities falling within DORA scope, including banks, payment institutions, EMIs, investment firms, insurers and CASPs authorised under MiCA.

## Competent authorities

- **Central Bank of Ireland** (Central Bank of Ireland) — https://www.centralbank.ie/

## Entities in scope

- Credit institutions (banks)
- Payment institutions and electronic money institutions (PIs / EMIs)
- Investment firms
- Crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) authorised under MiCA
- Insurance and reinsurance undertakings, where supervised in this jurisdiction
- Other financial entities listed in DORA Article 2

## Jurisdictional nuances

- Ireland hosts a significant population of internationally focused payment / EMI institutions; ICT third-party concentration in cloud and payment-processor providers is a recurring supervisory theme.
- The Central Bank of Ireland has long-standing operational-resilience work (cross-industry guidance) that DORA builds on directly — existing evidence often maps with light extension.
- Irish supervised entities should expect ICT third-party register and outsourcing notifications to be cross-checked against existing CP-118 / outsourcing register submissions.
