I am delighted to raise this issue. I want to give the people a voice in the Oireachtas to raise issues on prices and empower them to take on the major companies regarding the ongoing rip-off. We must fight back and I intend to use the Oireachtas as a platform to name, shame and, if merited, praise. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach for his tolerance in allowing me to place the names I mentioned on the record. If I find a rip-off which can be proven conclusively, I will have no hesitation in using my parliamentary privilege as I have done. It is a significant privilege to use but not abuse.
