Representative Actions for the Protection of the Collective Interests of Consumers Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
On the general point of the ability of bodies that may take collective actions on behalf of consumers, there is this outstanding issue as to how they will fund such actions. I know the Minister of State has not included an amendment to champerty, where I understand exceptions have been granted in other cases in international law. I wonder how the Minister of State envisages these collective bodies being able to take actions without some access to funding.
