Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Question 1: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his attention has been drawn to the recent Supreme Court decision in a case taken by the Competition Authority against the Irish League of Credit Unions which was lost by the authority; if the authority has made a contingency provision for the costs of the case; the impact that an award of costs against the authority will have on its work programme in view of the fact the award could absorb much of their annual budget; the location where additional funding for the authority will come from in the context of his Department's other priorities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
