The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) is the statutory body responsible for the enforcement of domestic and EU competition and consumer law in the State. Section 9 (5) of the Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2014 provides that the CCPC is independent in the performance of its functions. I, as Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation have no direct function in the day to day operational work of the CCPC. However, I understand that the CCPC has not engaged any mediation services since its establishment in October 2014.
