Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Groceries Sector: Discussion with the Competition Authority and the National Consumer Agency

3:35 pm

Mr. Patrick Kenny:

I believe that, normally, sworn informations are held in the court where they are applied for. I do not believe they give them out as a matter of course, but I could check that with our legal adviser. They have been in the past but it is something that we have complained about because it can telegraph where an investigation may go, in the sense that one is not always finished on the first day.
