Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 June 2017
72. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the number of full-time and part-staff employed in the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC, in each of the years 2010 to 2016 and to date in 2017, by grade, legal personnel and other staff; and the Exchequer funding allocated to the CCPC in each of the years 2010 to 2016 and to date in 2017, in tabular form. [30706/17]
View answerThe Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) was established on 31 October 2014, as a result of the amalgamation of the National Consumer Agency (NCA) and the Competition Authority. Numbers of staff and exchequer funding has been provided in respect of each year of the Agencies existence (from 2014).
My officials are collating the staffing numbers and funding in respect of the NCA and Competition Authority for the previous years (2010-2013). As soon as this is available, I will arrange for it to be forwarded to the Deputy.
