Has the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation consulted the Minister of State on the regulations he is drawing up? Has he given the Minister of State assurances that he will do more than guide the supermarkets on how to deal with producers in a fair and reasonable manner? Does the Minister of State not think we need a little more than guidance to ensure the supermarkets behave in such a manner? Does the Minister of State intend to set up a horticultural forum analogous to the one set up by his colleague, the Minister, where not only would the producers and An Bord Bia be involved but the supermarkets would be involved too? Everyone should be brought around the table and a few heads banged together.
