Ms Niamh Lenehan:

If we go back to the functions given to us in the office, there are a number of core ones. The first is in the area of compliance. We oversee compliance with, and enforcement of, the unfair trading practices regulations, which is a regulatory role. The second core function is the price and market analysis. In that area there is a lot of consultation and engagement, as well as statistics and economics. The third pillar, as I see it, is that of governance and running the organisation.
