Competition Law and Practice in Ireland

This book deals in detail with the effect of competition law in Ireland and also within the wider context of the EU. Amongst the topics addressed are anti-competitive arrangements; abuse of a dominant position; and specific arrangements and practices such as cartels, agency and distribution agreements, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, trade associations, intellectual property arrangements, franchising, pricing, trading conditions and advertising. The roles of the State and of public authorities are also discussed, along with a complete section on practice and procedure. A valuable aid for practitioners, businesses and students.""
