I fear the Taoiseach may have inadvertently confused the House earlier in his response to Deputy Martin on the provisions of the Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2014. The question the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, faces is whether he will refer a particular acquisition to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, given that it has an interest in the effect it might have on the overall broadcasting environment. This is the key thing he has to consider, not whether there will be a retrospective effect on the particular company in question. Can the Taoiseach confirm that my interpretation of the legislation is correct?
