Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 May 2014)

Dara Calleary: Yes. In terms of the notion of it being a charge on the State, we should be able to discuss that and make the call ourselves. However, that is house law. Issues will continue to arise between suppliers and multiples and other organisations regarding contracts and the various interpretations of the provisions of this legislation. Some resolution mechanism should be put in place that...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 May 2014)

Dara Calleary: I move amendment No. 58: In page 82, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following:“(c) specify Retention of Title for goods delivered until such time full payment is received,”.The amendment is similar to the thinking behind the Construction Contracts Act in that the supplier and producer would retain title to the goods until such time as they are fully paid. There is a...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 May 2014)

Dara Calleary: Given that this Bill is based on trying to clear the playing pitch, all of the responses suggest a fairy tale situation in which everyone gets on with each other and the big multiples treat suppliers with care and attention and it is all happy days on the farm. We know that is not the case. Ultimately, the person that produces the product should have more rights than the Revenue...

Dara Calleary: I move amendment No. 53: In page 81, between lines 37 and 38, to insert the following:"(2) Subject to a grocery goods undertaking choosing to enter into a contract, relevant grocery goods undertakings shall have a contract with a grocery goods undertaking for the sale or supply of grocery goods.".

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 May 2014)

This amendment seeks to give them the...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 May 2014)

Dara Calleary: I must express serious concerns about the regulations, given their importance to the Bill. We will not even see a draft copy of them before the Bill passes through the Dáil. We have had a debate today but we will not have a chance to debate what effectively is the fourth leg of the chair in terms of the regulations and their importance to the Bill. It puts all the talk about Dáil...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 May 2014)

Dara Calleary: I realise that the functioning of the market is very important, but if that functioning is having a damaging impact on society, it must be restrained. It is not appropriate for the Minister to pass the ball to the Department of Health on this issue. If that Department comes back and states below-cost selling of alcohol must be outlawed, which it might do, it will fall back on the Minister...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Competition and Consumer Protection Bill 2014: Committee Stage (15 May 2014)

Dara Calleary: Where is the protection for the small supplier? The Minister's Department has an innovation remit. It should be encouraging small suppliers and the employment they provide but, instead, it is not giving them any protection. They are being walked over and the Department is allowing this to continue.
