Ms Clare McNamara:

I will pass over to my colleague, Ms Hanrahan, particularly on that last point. On contracting traders and switching providers, we are into sectoral regulation territory. For example, energy providers are regulated by the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities and broadband providers are covered by ComReg. If the Deputy is talking about where someone cannot contact a trader and it is not already covered by a sectoral regulator, then the CCPC would have the power to intervene and force the trader to engage with their consumer.

I will ask Ms Hanrahan to expand on labelling and the withdrawal of consent. I am not sure that labelling falls within the remit of the Department and whether, therefore, it is covered by this, particularly in the context of green credentials and the consumer's right to know about the green credentials of products.
