This type of activity is going on at a time when jobs are being lost and farm incomes are under pressure. The supermarkets want €500,000 upfront from Irish suppliers. It is a form of extortion that should be dealt with very forcefully by the Tánaiste. I would like to hear what she is doing about it and when the long-promised Bill on consumer protection will be brought forward.
