full Phase 2 investigation into the proposed acquisition by East Cork Oil Unlimited Company

of sole control of Misty Lane Holdings Limited including its subsidiaries Arch Avenue Holdings

Limited, Atlantic Oils (Ireland) Limited, and Geaney Oil Limited (the “Proposed Transaction”).

substantial lessening of competition in the State.

of the determination and after allowing the parties the opportunity to request that

confidential information be removed from the published version.
