There has been nothing in terms of the price of fuel. If I make a complaint about the price of fuel at the pump, the CCPC will not deal with the actual price because that is independently set. It investigates whether the supplier is acting incorrectly or colluding with other groups. No prosecution has ever been brought in that regard. A file has never been sent to the DPP in respect of such collusion.
