Vol. 557 No. 2

Written Answers. - Below Cost Selling.

Damien English

Ceist:

158 Mr. English asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food his plans to assist potato growers who are suffering economic hardship due to below cost selling; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21706/02]

The wholesale price of potatoes is significantly higher than last year's price. I am not aware of any economic hardship as a result of below cost selling and I have no plans to assist potato growers. The Office of Consumer Affairs has responsibility for matters relating to below cost selling.
