Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Competition (Amendment) Bill 2021
Ms Clare McNamara:
On warrant cards, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission's existing procedures for authorised officers will continue. I am not 100% sure if they have warrant cards. I can examine that but I know they must have identification. The 2014 Act already sets out what an authorised officer of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is, and that will continue.
On access to data in people's homes, it is only if they are data that are of relevance to the investigation. We have to be careful as to what data they can gather. It would only be data that are absolutely relevant to the investigation under way.
