I thank the Minister for his reply. To be clear, I am not advocating on behalf of any sector or trade interests but on behalf of consumers.
I welcome the fact that Revenue has undertaken some work in this area. To recap, the Minister mentioned that contact was made with the ESRI and academics in the area of children's health and nutrition. I think he went on to say contact was then made with businesses in the clothing trade and that, with one exception, they did not indicate that the measures used were inappropriate. Is that correct?
