Lobbying Bill and supermarket pricing

Summary

Mattie McGrath raises the planned lobbying regulation Bill while complaining that supermarkets’ low grocery prices are harming market gardeners. The Taoiseach says the lobbying Bill is due early next year, after the minerals Bill.

Mattie McGrath Independent

I will keep trying. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the advice.

I refer to the regulation of lobbying Bill. Supermarkets are putting market gardeners and so on out of business as they sell greengroceries for almost nothing. Something has to be done to stop this, because it equates to lobbying, bullying and intimidation.

The regulation of lobbying Bill will be published early next year. The minerals Bill must be dealt with first and that will be followed by the geothermal Bill late next year. I expect the minerals Bill to be published in the first half of the year.
