Michael Ahern (Cork East, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Lynch stated that the Competition Act does not ban predatory pricing, but that it bans unfair pricing by companies in a dominant position. If Deputy Lynch had read the report, she would know that unfair pricing by a company in a dominant position is predatory pricing. Deputy Lynch also stated that the Minister said that every household in England now lives within four kilometres of a petrol station with a convenience store attached. Had she read the report, she would know that the Minister stated that almost 90% of rural households in England live within four kilometres of such a facility.
