Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 16:

In page 43, between lines 1 and 2, to insert the following:"(3) A reference in any Act of the Oireachtas passed before the establishment day or in any instrument made before that day under an Act of the Oireachtas to the chief executive of the National Consumer Agency shall, on and after that day, be construed as a reference to the chairperson of the Commission.".

This amendment inserts a new provision in section 40 - transfer of functions to commission - so that references to the chief executive of the National Consumer Agency in legislation which may not be picked up on by the current construction of that section are now included. The amendment provides that reference to the chief executive of the National Consumer Agency shall be construed as a reference to the chairperson of the competition and consumer protection commission.
