129 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his Department has conducted or plans to conduct research into the effects of the abolition of the Groceries Order on prices; if he has the results of that research; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17878/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn view of concerns expressed by some contributors to the public consultation process on the Groceries Order last year, I asked the Competition Authority to monitor the sector following the repeal of the Order. The Authority is currently putting in place a monitoring mechanism to track data and trends over the coming months and years and it will keep my Department informed of developments.
