Competition and Consumer Protection Commission

Also known as CCPC.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is Ireland's competition and consumer regulator. It brought together the work previously done by the Competition Authority and the National Consumer Agency, and it was given wider powers than those predecessor bodies.

It was established on 31 October 2014. Section 9 of the Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2014 created the Commission on the establishment day, and the establishment-day order of 2014 (S.I. No. 367 of 2014) appointed that date.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
