Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

That is why we need a retail ombudsman. I heard the Tesco representative on "Morning Ireland" this morning. He did not give a "Yes" or "No" answer when asked about a retail ombudsman. Consumers, the Government and the industry need to come together and recognise that unless we have transparency and an end to this dysfunctional operation of the retail sector, the suppliers will not be around for much longer.
