Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

The Leader of the House has agreed, in principle, to have a debate on the Forfás report in early July. In advance of that debate, I call on the Leader to ask the Tánaiste to instruct the Competition Authority to carry out an immediate investigation into the pricing of oil and diesel in the Irish market by the major companies. The prices of such products do not reflect the great difference between the values of the dollar and the euro. I compliment the Irish Independent for publishing a price list in today's edition and commend those in Reynolds' service station, Castletownroche, where unleaded petrol costs 79.9 cent per litre.
