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

I am glad to report that we received sanction last year to strengthen the Competition Authority. It is taking on new enforcement staff and ten effective resources. This year, we also strengthened the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, ODCE. As such, and in sympathy with the concerns expressed by the Deputy, we have strengthened both agencies that ensure good corporate and market performance.
