Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I can understand why Deputies would not wish to hear what I have to say. We have heard repetition from all sides and I am simply responding to that. The groceries order had a disastrous impact and this legislation seeks to address the issues which were causing concern in that regard. The Competition Act of 2002 has had many benefits. Some concerns have been expressed regarding that legislation which cannot be addressed in this context but can be addressed in another. The Minister has indicated that he intends to have a well resourced Competition Authority looking after the provisions of this legislation and the 2002 Competition Act.
