Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Groceries Sector: Discussion with Lidl Ireland
10:10 am
Mr. Ryan McDonnell:
I will start by addressing Deputy Ó Cuív's questions regarding our supply base nationwide. We said in our opening statement that we have a flexible distribution system in the Republic of Ireland, with three regional distribution centres based in Mullingar, Charleville and Newbridge. Where volume or capacity can be split provincially, we will engage with multiple suppliers across a specific product. For instance, we will split a volume of milk or a meat and poultry product where it makes commercial sense to do that or where we need to split our volumes.
