Board has two basic tasks: - to oversee the detailed implementation of the changeover to the euro; and - to provide public and consumer information. The Secretariat compiles the material on the website. This website is part of Ireland's National Information Programme on the changeover to the euro. The ECBI co-ordinates the public information part of the Programme, while information for business is provided by Forfás. Ireland's National Information Programme is part-funded by the EU. |
The Board was set up by Mr Charlie McCreevy TD Minister for Finance on 5 May 1998
and includes representatives from organisations representing a wide cross-section
of Irish life. The Department of Finance provides the Secretariat to the Board
and the Chairperson of the Board is Philip Hamell, a senior civil servant in the
Department.
