This is about the harmonisation of European law. Has the Department looked at actual cases from the past that could have been taken once this legislation is transposed? Ms McNamara mentioned consumer class action against Volkswagen. I only remember that being done through the American courts. I ask the witnesses to give us an indication of where they see this legislation coming into play in Ireland. If the CCPC is going to use it, how will it use it? How would it bring an action under this process?
