On 18 March 2020, the Competition and Consumer Protection
Commission ("CCPC") published a
statement outlining how the Irish merger notification process has
been affected by COVID-19 and setting out changes to the process
amid the outbreak. For the full CCPC statement please click here.
The CCPC has encouraged notifying parties where possible to
delay filings, and established a temporary process for the
electronic notification of mergers. In order to ensure business
continuity in merger review and in line with Government advice, the
CCPC also confirmed that it will now largely be reviewing notified
mergers and acquisitions remotely.
