Mary Fitzpatrick (Fianna Fail)

I thank Mr. McHugh, Mr. Barry and Mr. Kenny for being here and for the important work they are doing for consumers and competition. Mr. Barry has acknowledged the pressure consumers are under with increasing grocery costs. I was nominated to run for election to the Seanad by RGDATA, which represents independent food retailers. Its members say that a large part of their increased pricing is being driven by increased cost that is driven by increased pricing in energy and insurance. Has the CCPC undertaken any investigations of competition in the energy and insurance markets?
