Ms Maria Dunne:

As it stands, the regulator is entitled to the information on a voluntary basis. That is what the Act provides for. It also has the information on market transparency, as I outlined, that the Department can compel under the legislation. That is published by the EU market observatories and the Department in its weekly meat market reports and on its meat and dairy dashboards. Bord Bia does a market tracker that came out of the beef task force agreement. There is a lot of publicly available data to which the regulator has access.
