Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of the Agricultural and Food Supply Chain Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Cullinan:
The Deputy asked about the ban on below-cost selling. In the past ten years, the price of food has fallen by 9%. That is telling in itself. We have all been dealing with inflation, but the price of food has been going down for the past ten or 11 years. That is clear and was demonstrated in the Jim Power report too. That answers the question by itself.
