John Perry (Sligo-North Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I thank Deputies who spoke on the Bill for their very useful contribution to the debate. I welcome the broad support from all Deputies for the contents of the Bill. I remind Deputies that the focus of the Bill is to strengthen the enforcement of competition law by providing a more effective deterrent through an improved sanctions regime which is very important for competition. A number of interesting points have been made and I will certainly study them and give them serious consideration in the context of other legislation being prepared. I thank Deputies for their co-operation in advancing the Bill.
