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

Mr. McHugh can see what happens in a sense. We are talking about competitiveness, and our main aim is how we can ensure that businesses are sustainable and are protected and competitive going forward. If we have a situation where businesses can be forced to close down overnight because the environment within which they are operating fails them - not because they have done anything wrong themselves - who is there to protect them? I suppose that is the wider question. I understand the CCPC has the remit, but maybe the remit is too narrow as it is and perhaps it needs to be wider.
