Policy on Imports and Multinationals

Summary

O’Toole asked whether the Government would address rising food imports associated with multinational retailers. The Ceann Comhairle said policy questions belonged to another Minister, and Moore referred to an earlier answer on the subject.

Have any Department any proposals to curtail this adverse trend now developing because of the influx of multinationals in the food trade?

That question is for another Minister. The Minister of State answered a statistical question.

The Minister must have expected to be asked at least a few supplementaries.

The Deputy will appreciate that his question should be answered by another Minister.

The Minister for Industry, Commerce and Tourism answered very fully a similar question on policy matters last February.
