Work on drafting the legislation to merge the National Consumer Agency and the Competition Authority is on-going and the Bill is included in the A list in the Government's current Legislative Programme. Following publication of the Bill and its subsequent consideration by the Oireachtas, I intend to establish the new agency as soon as possible after the commencement of the legislation.
