Seamus Kirk

Question:

48 Mr. Kirk asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the price control, if any, in place on products, for example coal and gas; if not, the plans, if any, she has to introduce this control; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24813/99]

Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. T. Kitt)

I have no plans to introduce price control measure on products such as coal and gas. Prices are not controlled by regulation but are determined by the market.
