Career
Educated at University College Dublin, Donnery started with the Central Bank of Ireland in 1996.[1][2] She was the first woman to be appointed to the role of Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland.
In 2018, she was shortlisted as one of two contenders nominated by MEPs to head the euro zone's bank supervisory operation, the Single Supervisory Mechanism, eventually losing out to Andrea Enria.
Donnery was one of five shortlisted candidates for the post of governor but was not selected. However, she was appointed by the Central Bank Commission to the role of acting governor from 1 June 2019 to 31 August 2019, when Gabriel Maklouf assumed the position of governor.[1]
