Ms Tara Buckley:
We represent independent family-owned shops. Around 90% of our members are in some type of buying arrangement because that is the way the independent sector has emerged. Our members own about 3,500 shops. Some operate under SuperValu, Centra, Spar, Londis, Gala or Costcutter. Our members are in every town and village in Ireland, from supermarkets to smaller stores.
