It is important to state very serious challenges are faced by a number of social enterprises. There is a horse riding centre in Cherry Orchard and a number of childcare facilities which face this problem.

With regard to dual pricing, on which there has been considerable discussion, while there is much outrage and we accept there is a problem, I am not clear what the Minister of State intends to do. I heard him say he wants to wait for the final report, but I was struck by a comment by the Central Bank’s director of financial conduct who said that immediate action might be previous as dual pricing might be of benefit to some customers, specifically those who shop around. Is that a view that the Minister of State shares?
