Mr. Paul Kelly:

Yes. Our members would have informed us about such practices on a regular basis. There have been certain reports in some of the newspapers in recent weeks in respect of some of these practices. When the then Joint Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment held hearings on this matter in 2009, suppliers were extremely reticent to come before it and discuss these matters in public. In Britain, the ombudsman has been brought in to deal with this issue and has been tasked with rooting out these practices in a very proactive fashion and without placing individual suppliers in a very invidious position.
