The Central Bank of Ireland is designated as the competent authority in the State for Articles 26(9) and 32(5) of the DORA Regulation (regulation 4). The Bank has all the powers necessary for its functions and duties under the DORA Regulation (regulation 5).

For a contravention of the DORA Regulation the Bank may order the person to cease and desist, order the cessation of a practice, adopt measures including pecuniary measures to ensure financial entities continue to comply, and issue public notices naming the person and the breach, and it may apply the sanctions to members of the management body (regulation 6). Any decision taken or sanction imposed is an appealable decision under Part VIIA of the Central Bank Act 1942 (regulation 7). The DORA Regulation and these Regulations do not apply to credit unions until (regulation 3).
