The Consumer Protection Act 2007 requires the National Consumer Agency no later than 6 months after the end of each financial year to make a report in writing to the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation of its activities during the year. The Act further provides that before the report is published, the Minister shall as soon as practicable after receiving the annual report cause to have copies of it to be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. I wish to advise the Deputy that I recently received the Agency’s 2012 annual report, which I intend to bring to the attention of the Government shortly. The report will then be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. This will allow the report to be published by the Agency, which I understand it intends to do as soon as possible thereafter.
