Mr. Denis Murphy:

It does, yes, there is no doubt at all about that. I think there is a play-off by the retailers. They are encouraging competition between the processors. If retailers can import milk from Northern Ireland in packaged form at a lower price than that which is available in this State, they will put pressure on the guys within this State. That is what is happening. If one goes to any supermarket, one will see that the price for two litres of own-label milk is between €1.49 and €1.69 while all other milk costs between €2 and €2.30. The price range is very wide.
