Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Vincent Roddy:

We stated in our submission that there is a need to establish what the cost will be because one can then determine if there are below-cost sales. Obviously, it will have to be basic on some levels because it would not be possible to determine the cost of every item each month. We can get a fairly good handle on that, however.

I cannot say whether it will comply with company law. Time will tell in that regard. The CCPC may be able to shed light on that. It does fit into that area.

I want to double-check that before coming back with a response. I would rather not comment without knowing the full facts about that.
