Economics
CCPC Economics classroom resources
The CCPC, in consultation with an experienced Economics teacher, has developed two Economics posters to support Leaving Certificate Economics students.
The posters use real-world examples to help students understand how competition and markets operate in practice.
As Ireland's competition and consumer protection authority, a core function of the CCPC is investigating and enforcing competition law. Drawing on actual CCPC cases, the posters demonstrate how economic concepts studied in the classroom are applied in real-world situations, helping students connect theory with practice.
Competition and the CCPC
This poster explains the role of the CCPC in promoting competition and enforcing competition law. Using real-world CCPC enforcement cases, it illustrates how competition authorities investigate anti-competitive behaviour, assess its impact on consumers and markets, and take action to protect competition.
You can request this poster as an A1 size print for your classroom via the form below, or use the printer friendly version to print it yourself up to A3 size.
Market Structures & Market Concentration
This poster shows how the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is used to measure market concentration and assess the impact of mergers on competition. Using real-world CCPC merger cases, it illustrates how economic analysis helps competition authorities evaluate market structures and identify potential competition concerns.
