My Department engages with the Irish Dental Association on an ongoing basis in relation to a wide range of issues. I met with the Irish Dental Association on the 15th November last where the issue of the Government's plans to amend the Competition Act 2002 was discussed. I am aware of the position of the Irish Dental Association in relation to the Competition Act and I am keeping the matter under review.
