Question 41: To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will compare and contrast the resources assigned to the Competition Authority here with those operating at best practice level within the EU; if he will detail the resources needed within the economy here; and if he will detail the additional expenditure that he will designate to the Competition Authority to deal comprehensively with anti competitive practise across the State.

My Department is currently undertaking a review of the resources of the Competition Authority. I expect this review to be completed by the end of March 2012. This review will have to take account of Government policy to reduce the size and cost of the public sector through the Employment Control Framework. Until that review has been finalised, I am not in a position to comment further in the matter.
