Mr. Simon Barry:

All the evidence we have marshalled tells us that Ireland's price uplift has been lower than European norms over the long term and in the recent spikes. We are acutely aware that Irish households have faced serious pain in their household grocery bills, so it will provide no comfort to point out that the uplift we have seen in Ireland is quite a bit lower. It is 27% here compared with a norm of 35% across Europe. That is not to downplay the sizable uplift, but it is lower than European norms.
