I thank Deputy Bacik. We consider all proposals and I look forward to debating that legislation.

In relation to the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond's meeting, I note that two major retailers dropped the price of bread on the day the meeting was called. I do not think that was coincidental. We do not apologise for the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, and others having an relentless focus on keeping the pressure on here. There is another meeting scheduled for June.

My colleague, the Minister, Deputy Coveney, will also meet the CCPC next week. We are considering legislation to ensure large retailers outline their profit margin. I believe only one does currently.
