Select Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Retail Sector: Discussion with RGDATA and Retail Ireland
4:10 pm
Mr. Stephen Lynam:
On that final point, if the European code was incorporated into Irish law I think that would be a very good outcome. However, I see no need for that if major Irish retailers sign up, not least because should Irish suppliers or retailers decide that the code needs tweaking this would then involve a legislative process at national level. On the issue of listing, hello money is against the law. It is covered by any code and by legislation.
