I have a question on milk, which is a matter of interest to me. Ms Clancy mentioned this briefly. She said that seven different processors supply milk to the different stores.

Something that intrigues me is that I could go into a SuperValu store five miles on either side of where I live and pay a different price for the same milk coming from the same dairy, be it Glanbia or Dairygold. How do the witnesses justify paying the same price to Glanbia, for example, for a litre of milk and sending it to shops either as an own-brand product or in a Glanbia carton at two different prices?
