Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Competition Law and Trade Associations: Discussion

Ms Isolde Goggin:

Absolutely. We very much encourage that. We would absolutely encourage any company that believes it has been the victim of anti-competitiveness practices or has a general question to contact us. When we say we cannot give legal advice I mean we cannot answer hypothetical questions, for example, if somebody asks us whether it would be okay to do this or that, have a certain kind of contract or sit down with competitors. At that stage, the person would have to get legal advice. However, if people feel they are having a difficulty because of the anti-competitive practices of either a large dominant organisation or a grouping of organisations, we would be very interested in hearing from them.
