Ms Clare McNamara:

The Senator will have to forgive me but I cannot comment on Government policy since 2007, when that report was published. We are bringing in a Bill that will result in quite significant crimes for serious breaches of competition law. If that report is correct and there has been a loss of €2.5 billion a year, a great deal of money will be coming into the Exchequer once the Bill is enacted, one would hope.
