""This new book explores Irish competition law in the light of the new Competition Act 2002 which largely came into effect in July 2002. This new Act which repealed the previous Competition Acts and the Monopolies and Merger Control Act 1978 makes important changes to Irish competition law, in particular to the area of mergers and acquisitions, as it introduces a new merger control regime. It should serve as a clear, concise guide to Irish competition law and will appeal to students and practitioners alike.The book can be purchased on its own or in conjunction with Competition Law and Practice (2001) for a set price.""
