Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 February 2019
306. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation when she expects the report from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission on motor insurance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8063/19]
View answerThe Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is the statutory independent body responsible for the enforcement of domestic and EU competition law in the State.
Section 9(5) of the Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2014 provides that the Commission is independent in the performance of its functions, including carrying out investigations of alleged anti-competitive practices. As investigations and enforcement matters generally are part of the day-to-day operational work of the Commission, I as the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation have no direct function in the matter.
