Irish central bank head may outline plays to resign - Bloomberg

Reuters - UK Focus

DUBLIN, April 30 (Reuters) - Irish Central Bank Governor Patrick Honohan may outline plans to step down when he presents the bank's annual report on Friday, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Honohan, who is also a member of the European Central Bank's (ECB) governing council, would not intend to step down immediately, Bloomberg said.

A spokesman for the Irish Central Bank said he would not comment on the report.

Honohan, who became governor on a seven-year term in September 2009, will present the annual report at a press conference on Friday as scheduled, the spokesman said. (Reporting by Padraic Halpin; Editing by Ruth Pitchford)
