Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 February 2005
212 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the position regarding a submission (details supplied); the action he intends to take to alleviate the concerns raised; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5944/05]
View answerThe concerns raised in the submission on changes to the retail planning guidelines are the responsibility of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Accordingly, I have arranged to forward a copy of the submission to that Minister for his attention.
On the groceries order, I am awaiting the report of the consumer strategy group, which was established last year to deliberate on a wide range of consumer matters. I hope to receive the group's report soon and I expect that it will pronounce on the groceries order in its findings. I will consider the group's recommendations in consultation with my Government colleagues and interested parties before deciding what action is appropriate.
