Mr. Henneberry formally informed me of his intention to resign from his post of member of the Competition Authority on 15 November 2005. His resignation, which is for personal reasons, will be effective from 30 January 2006.

I take this opportunity to place on record my appreciation of the excellent contribution Mr. Henneberry has made to the work of the Competition Authority since his appointment in September 2003.

Under the Competition Act 2002 appointments to the position of member of the Competition Authority are made by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment through an open and competitive process. The Public Appointments Service has commenced the process for sourcing Mr. Henneberry's replacement. I hope to be in a position to announce Mr. Henneberry's successor early next year.
