Mr. Justice John Quirke:

We will be conducting an overview of the development of regulation in the 20th century. For the first half of the century much of the regulation in corporate affairs was dealt with by corporatism while in the second half of the century it tended to be influenced by social partnership. We will also examine how it has been influenced by recent domestic and international events. This will also take into account who regulates the regulator.

All of the 11 projects will be started immediately. We have a significant number of researchers and we will not be giving priority to any particular project.
