Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Does the Minister agree the role played by the Stock Exchange in its initial response to the allegations of insider dealing in Fyffes raises concerns about a cosy club operating between those involved in big business and the supposed regulator of the sector at the time? Has he raised his concerns about this issue with the Director of Corporate Enforcement? What measures does he intend to take to ensure customers, as investors or through their involvement in pension funds, are protected against sharp practices involving publicly quoted shares?
