Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Groceries Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

10:10 am

Mr. Donald Mackay:

It is difficult to establish whether that has resulted in a cost to the consumer. Food inflation in the UK has increased in recent years. While that is not necessarily linked to the introduction of the code of practice, they just happen to coincide. I am not apportioning inflation to that factor, but it makes it difficult to tell how much of an impact the code has had.
