Dáil
‹ Order of Business Consumer and competition Bill
Summary
Patrick O’Donovan seeks early publication of the consumer and competition Bill, citing pressure on farmers; the Taoiseach confirms it will be dealt with this session.
Will the Taoiseach state when the consumer and competition Bill will be before the House? As he will appreciate, the issue has ramifications for the farming industry, particularly given the strain farmers are already under because of the lack of fodder and the weather. Farming organisations are very anxious to see the legislation before the Dáil as early as possible to ensure there will be a level playing field regarding what farmers get for what they produce.
