Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I would be generally in agreement with the Deputy. He used the word "co-ordinated", which suggests this is a matter that should be referred to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, CCPC. Any co-ordinated increase in price rises by such providers raises significant alarm bells in terms of whether competition is in place in the market. Perhaps further correspondence to the CCPC is called for. I will certainly raise the matter with the Minister.
