I thank the Minister of State for his strong and forthright response to the issue raised. The Minister of State said that Ireland is not a command economy and that customers should be dealt with fairly given the change in the euro. What actions will follow from the meeting with the National Consumer Agency? In what areas can the Government take action?

The Minister of State is effectively agreeing there has been a rip-off of consumers. What action can the Government take in conjunction with the National Consumer Agency to try to change the situation?
