This afternoon.
The National Treasury Management Agency has withdrawn stockbroker Davy’s authority to act as a primary dealer for Irish Government debt.
It comes as the NTMA said it plans to raise €1-1.5 billion of debt on Thursday through the sale of 10 and 29-year Treasury bonds.
The agency said its board had reached its decision on Davy based on its “assessment of the very serious findings” relating to the firm that were made by the Central Bank last week.
Earlier…
This afternoon.
Further to the resignation of three senior figures at Davy stockbrokers, including its chief executive and deputy chairman, after the firm was fined €4.1m by the Central Bank for breaches in regulations during a 2014 bond transaction [Employees acting as a consortium of investors had been buying unlisted Anglo Irish Bank bonds from a client at an agreed price]…

The National Treasury Management Agency has declined to say whether stockbroker Davy will take part in the bond auction planned for later this week.
It comes after the new interim chief executive of Davy, Bernard Byrne, addressed staff at the company this morning.
It is understood that in his address, Mr Byrne acknowledged that the board of Davy understands that there were failings and that he committed to act with urgency and do the right things, subject to due process being observed.
Sources indicated there was a tone of humility to what Mr Byrne said and a recognition that Davy had “got it wrong”.
Good times.

turns out removal of Davy logo from the IT business podcast wasn’t ‘cancel culture’ after all –

Fallout for Davy widens as firm suspends high-profile partnerships:
“Davy Group has paused its sponsorship programmes – including patronage of the National Yacht Club in Dún Laoghaire and the National Concert Hall (NCH) – amid the fallout from the bond deal scandal that landed the firm with a €4.13m fine last week.
The Irish Independent has learned that Davy has suspended all activity across its sponsorships in sport, the arts and media.
The recipients affected also include golfers Leona Maguire and Ronan Mullarney and the Irish Times ‘Inside Business’ podcast.
A Davy spokesperson said the decision was a “natural” consequence of the Central Bank’s reprimand of the firm and that its sponsorships would be reviewed after an indefinite pause.”
We’ve been told off by your Ma so we’re taking all our toys home and never bringing them out again, very mature response.
Welcome to huckster city, where the gombeens rule supreme.There will be many arguments made as to why these clowns should not be sacked because we cannot be setting a precedent like that. Who knows where that might end?
