asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if his attention has been drawn to the proposals from the Consumers' Association of Ireland relating to problems in the retail grocery market; and the plans, if any, he has to take action to deal with trends in this area which are not in the public interest.

I am aware of the proposals referred to by the Deputy and, in fact, I expect to meet the association later today to discuss the recommendations contained in the report of a special review carried out by the Restrictive Practices Commission into the operation of the Restrictive Practices (Groceries) Order, 1981.
I expect to be able to announce my decision on these recommendations shortly.
