Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

We have been clear; there cannot be profiteering on the back of hard-pressed Irish shoppers. I absolutely agree with the Deputy on that. We cannot have that. Nothing is off the table. The Minister, Deputy Coveney, is considering a suite of measures, for example, more transparency on profits in Ireland, and is meeting with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC, which has powers to investigate whether there is price-gouging. That is its role. The Minister will be meeting with the commission next week or the following week. I do not have the date but he is going to go through all of those issues with the CCPC. We have to make sure that the Irish consumer is not being disadvantaged.
