Amharc ar fhreagra62 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he intends to legislate for a consumer rights enforcer to represent consumers at social partnership talks, to name and shame those charging excessive prices and to act to eliminate uncompetitive behaviour; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 34, 40 and 62 together.
The consumer strategy group was established in March 2004 to advise and make recommendations on the development of a national consumer strategy. I have not yet received the group's final report. However, I do expect the group to present its report very shortly and that the report will be published shortly thereafter. I intend to fully consider whatever recommendations may be contained in the report as promptly as possible.
