I move amendment No. 9:

In page 9, between lines 28 and 29, to insert the following:
“(i) that the Companies Acts have been or are likely to be breached, (j) that the Competition Acts or Articles 101-102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union have been or are likely to be breached.”.

I would like the Minister to confirm that he has got advice that non-criminal breaches of the Competition Acts, for example, are covered by this legislation. There are criminal and non-criminal breaches of that Act and the Competition Authority deals with them in different ways.
