I thank Mr. Dillon for his detailed submission. At the moment, Retail Ireland would be working with the CCPC. How does it envisage the working relationship when the new office of fairness and transparency in the agrifood supply chain comes into being by virtue of the fact that Retail Ireland will probably still be dealing with the CCPC? We have just heard from the CCPC. From listening to its deliberation and reading its submission, I can see there will be a lot of crossover between the new body and the role currently played by the CCPC when it comes to agrifood supply, a role that apparently will be maintained. How does Retail Ireland envisage that affecting its relationship with either organisation or both?
