There is a housing crisis in this country and five Irish developers have taken a case to the Commission with regard to what they believe is unfair competition with the bad State bank called NAMA. The case has been with the Commission for almost a year and a half. Will the Commissioner tell us when the case might be decided? Will she prioritise it as it could have an effect in dealing with the housing crisis?
