Mr. Derek Moran:

To answer the question raised on the affinity deal, the Deputy is quite right. Most of us in groups, such as SuperValus, Centras and Spars, would be part of affinities. I operate a Eurospar in Drogheda and I am on an affinity scheme. However, this morning, as one of the witnesses alluded to, the rate has gone from 31 cent to 53 cent. Just working it out very quickly here while I sit at the desk, that is €65,000 extra per year for me, even though I am on an affinity-----
