Davy stockbrokers sought to "minimise and mischaracterise" the deal which has rocked the financial sector, but the regulatory breaches were not criminal offences, an Oireachtas committee has been told.

However, the Central Bank has said it is satisfied to discuss the findings of its investigation with the gardaí and the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement.
