During this discussion there has been talk of the 2009 review on the retail grocery sector. That was in the context of price differentials with the North. I note Ms Goggin said the retailers have stated that everything in the garden is rosy. She pointed out that there were problems nonetheless. Does the Competition Authority monitor the retail sector on an ongoing basis, looking at developments and trends? Or does the authority operate on the basis of a major investigative report, as happened in 2009? If so, when can we expect the next report on the retail sector?
