Watchdog blasted in its own confidential report

THE Financial Regulator has been severely criticised in an unpublished report it commissioned itself on how it operates.

Almost a year after the near-collapse of the Irish banking system, the report is a damning indictment of how the regulator works.

The unpublished report has found that it has a low level of specialist regulatory staff compared with its peers.
