Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Fuel Costs: Competition and Consumer Protection Commission

Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

Our role is to make sure that filling stations set their prices as competing businesses, that they set their prices independently and that there is no collusion or no cartel. It is also to make sure that they display their prices so consumers do not get tricked into driving onto the forecourt and then discovering the price is much higher than they thought.
