On 9 March 2023, the President of Ireland signed the Central Bank (Individual Accountability Framework) Act 2023 into law.
On 1 March 2023, when the legislation was passed by Dáil Eireann, the Minister for Finance Michael McGrath stated that all sections of the Act will be commenced as soon as possible, except for sections on the Senior Executive Accountability Regime (SEAR), the conduct standards and the fitness and probity certification requirement respectively.

The Minister also stated that the Act will be fully implemented in the current year, which gives industry little time to implement the necessary actions.
