(1) Saving its other powers under any other law, the Commission shall have the same powers to summon witnesses, to administer oaths, to require persons to give evidence, and to require the production of documents as are enjoyed by a Board of Inquiry under the Inquiries Act.

(2) Any person who, when summoned to appear before the Commission, refuses or without sufficient cause fails to attend at the time and place mentioned in the summons, or refuses, without sufficient cause, to answer or to answer fully and satisfactorily, to the best of his knowledge and belief, all questions put to him by or with the concurrence of the Commission, or refuses or fails, without sufficient cause, to produce any document he was required to produce by or with the concurrence of the Commission, shall be liable on conviction to a fine (multa) not exceeding one thousand and one hundred and sixty-four euro and sixty-nine cents (€1,164.69) or to imprisonment not exceeding three months, or to both such fine and imprisonment: Provided that, without prejudice to the generality of sub-regulation (1), no person giving evidence before the Commission may be compelled to incriminate himself, and every such person shall, in respect of any evidence given by him before the Commission, be entitled to the same privileges to which a witness giving evidence before a court of law is entitled.
