View answerFollowing a Public Appointments Service recruitment and selection process for Chairperson of the Competition Authority, I appointed Ms Isolde Goggin as Chairperson with effect from 1 October 2011. The Public Appointments Service has completed the selection process for members of the Authority. I intend to appoint the members as soon as the necessary contractual details are finalised. In the meantime I have re-appointed three temporary members in accordance with section 35 of the Competition Act 2002, as amended by the Competition (Amendment) Act 2010.
