Written Answers. - Retail Sector Developments.

John Perry

Ceist:

321 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the Government's position in relation to the imminent threat of British multiple retail outlets to set up hypermarkets in Ireland; the difference between a superstore and a hypermarket; if his attention has been drawn to the implications of this particular type of development; the plans, if any, he has to control hypermarkets; the plans, if any, the Government has to cap the size of stores as in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12218/98]

I have received representations from a number of sources on this matter. I am considering all the issues raised and will give my reply in due course.
