Patrick Honohan - Distinguished Speaker Lunch
Merrion Hotel, Dublin
We are delighted to host Professor Patrick Honohan, Governor of the Central Bank, as guest speaker at our first Distinguished Speaker Lunch of 2010.
Professor Honohan worked as an economist at the Central Bank between 1976 and 1984 and has been at TCD (where he has been professor of international financial economics and development) since 2007.
Announcing the Government’s selection of Professor Honohan for the position of Governor, the Minister for Finance stated:
“Professor Patrick Honohan is highly regarded internationally as an expert on banking and financial systems. His experience in the various positions he has held during his career, including the Central Bank, the World Bank and the academic world will be of enormous value to him in working through the difficulties which the Irish Financial System faces.
Throughout this financial crisis I have sought the views of Professor Honohan and he has consistently provided valuable advice. I look forward to working with him in his new role.”
