Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment
Engagement with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission

Mr. Brian McHugh:
We are very aware of the Fastway issue. We have issued information to consumers who are affected. Obviously, small businesses are significantly affected as well, in addition to the employees - the workers - at Fastway, which does raise a lot of issues, namely corporate issues and social welfare issues, that are not within our remit.
The other matter that we have raised and that falls within our remit is whether there is an element of dominance within that market. We have powers in relation to breaches of competition law, and abuse of dominance is one of those areas. I will not say anything further because that would be a potential enforcement action. In light of that, I would not like to go into any detail on the merits or otherwise of the allegations.
