Mr. John Foy:

Within the wholesale sector Musgrave supplies us, but we still have the choice to sell at any price within our store. It depends on the competitive environment in which one is operating, although there have been recommended selling prices for certain lines. The Deputy referred to the price of milk. I could be selling it at €1.49 for 2 litres, while in another SuperValu store ten miles down the road, it could be selling at €1.59. That brings us back to the independent nature of the retailers within the SuperValu group. We can still make the majority of decisions as to the price at which we sell products and where we will buy some of our produce.
