Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

There is legislation promised. There will have to be legislation in order to amalgamate the NCA and the Competition Authority. There is no report promised to the House. The Forfás report on the cost of doing business, which is in draft form, will be brought to finality today. I will be discussing with the retailers the issues regarding the sterling differential and prices. I am seriously concerned about the matter, as are all Members of the House, on the basis that every euro spent in Ireland has a direct affect in supporting and sustaining employment within the retail sector in this country.
