Consumer and competition Bill

Summary

Éamon Ó Cuív challenged the repeated delay to the consumer and competition Bill and demanded a firm commitment. The Taoiseach repeatedly confirmed that it would be published during the current session, placing that assurance on the Dáil record.

The consumer and competition Bill was included on the A list for the previous session but it was not introduced. Will it be published during the current session or will it be similar to two thirds of all legislation included on the A list in that it will not be taken until the next session?
