Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 March 2005
165 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment his position on reviewing the Groceries Order; when he intends the consumer strategy group to report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7278/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have received a copy of the report of the consumer strategy group within the past 24 hours. I have not yet had an opportunity to read the report or to consider its findings in detail. Neither do I propose to comment on the content of the report until such time as I have had an opportunity to discuss the matter with my colleagues in Government. I expect to publish the report in the coming weeks.
In so far as the group's recommendations on the Groceries Order are concerned, it would be my intention, once the report has been published, to consult with all interested parties before making any decision as to how to proceed in the matter.
