Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

I wish to clarify for the Minister that this is not only my suspicion — if it were I would not be here asking important questions on it — it is of widespread concern. Within regions there seems to be uniformity and this raises questions. When this happens, the Minister with responsibility for energy must deal with it. Otherwise the consumer is left unprotected. The Competition Authority investigates dentists, solicitors and everybody else, but somehow this issue is allowed float free. This is a matter of concern and it lands on the Minister's desk.
