Policy Issues arising from Cemetery Management Bill 2013: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. David Pierce:
In the letter that was sent to us, the Competition Authority said that this was not a competition issue. It said this was a state aid issue and suggested that we should contact the European Commission. It also said that we were too late in bringing the cremation issue to it and that it did not have the resources to look into it. It said three things that suggest to me that Ms Goggin and Haiyan are totally toothless and useless, if you will excuse me. It said that we would be allowed to advertise in a promotional brochure. When we got the price list during the week, we learned that it would cost €1,500 for a quarter of a page.
