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.
