Public Statement: Irish Financial Services Appeals Tribunal decision

Today, the Irish Financial Services Appeals Tribunal (IFSAT) has published its decision in the appeal by Mr David Guinane of the Central Bank Inquiry Decision dated 23 April 2025 concerning permanent tsb plc (PTSB) and Mr David Guinane.
