Central Bank revokes five investment intermediary authorisations at firms' request

The Central Bank of Ireland has revoked the authorisations of five investment business firms, acting at the firms’ own request. The revocation was made under Section 16(1) of the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 and is published in Iris Oifigiúil No. 89 of 6 November 2026, under the references G-5A (English) and G-5B (Irish). The firms named are Windsor Wealth Management Limited, Gilroy Gannon Financial Services Limited, Revoclife Limited, Brian O’Loughlin and Lawrence Mooney.

The notice appears in the Central Bank of Ireland block of the official journal under the heading “Revocation of authorisation of investment business firms”, with the Irish-language heading “Cúlghairm ar Údarú Gnólachtaí Gnó Infheistíochta”. Its operative wording is a single sentence: “Notice is hereby given that, at the request of the firms, the Central Bank of Ireland has, under Section 16(1) of the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995, revoked the authorisation of” the five named parties.

The Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 is the statute under which investment intermediaries — firms and individuals providing investment business services in the State — are authorised and supervised by the Central Bank of Ireland. Section 16(1) supplies the revocation power recorded in the notice, and the gazette text is explicit that it was exercised at the request of the firms themselves rather than as an enforcement measure against them.

The five authorisations withdrawn

The notice lists the parties whose authorisations have been revoked, mixing incorporated firms and individuals trading as authorised intermediaries:

• Windsor Wealth Management Limited
• Gilroy Gannon Financial Services Limited
• Revoclife Limited
• Brian O’Loughlin
• Lawrence Mooney

Three of the five are private companies with limited liability; the remaining two are named individuals, a standard format in this class of notice where the authorisation is held personally by a sole trader or principal.

A bilingual, standing-format notice

Iris Oifigiúil carried the announcement twice on the same day, as items G-5A and G-5B: the English text and the Irish text, both dated to the issue of Friday, 6 November 2026, which is Number 89 of the year and is published “by Authority” in Dublin. Neither version states a reason beyond the firms’ own request, and neither attaches a date of effect, a list of affected clients or any transitional arrangement.

The formula is a recurring one in the journal. On 4 September 2026 the same section of Iris Oifigiúil recorded revocations at the request of the firms under the same section of the 1995 Act for OMA Financial Services Limited, Phil Reddin Financial Services Limited, Declan Maguire, Tom O’Gorman, Moorehall Securities Limited and Lawrence Mooney; further notices under the 1995 Act followed in the issues of 2 October and 6 October 2026.

Why the entry matters

Authorisation is the legal precondition for holding oneself out as an investment intermediary, and its withdrawal — however consensual — removes that standing. For clients of the five named parties, the practical consequence is that the firm or individual can no longer rely on the authorisation recorded in the official journal, and the publication in Iris Oifigiúil is the formal public record of that change.

The entry is also a reminder that the register of authorised intermediaries changes quietly between major enforcement actions: exits at the firm’s own request are announced in the same section of the gazette, and in the same one-sentence form, as any other revocation. Readers dealing with any of the five names should treat the notice of 6 November 2026 as the authoritative statement of their status.
