About

Úna Butler is credited as one of the top Irish public sector in-house lawyers, having consistently demonstrated her understanding of competition and European law. She joined the Irish Competition and Consumer Protection Commission shortly after its inception in 2014, which followed the amalgamation of the Competition Authority and the National Consumer Agency. In charge of the legal department of the commission, Butler has since played vital role in improving markets to the benefit of consumers and businesses in the country and has pushed important changes within the Irish merger regime. Prior to her arrival at the commission, Butler worked at the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) for three years. Before that she worked at law firms Philip Lee Solicitors and McCann FitzGerald, where she specialised in EU law, competition, procurement law and market regulation.
