I do not want to use crude language but we have talked about scata bullán before. The previous Commissioner failed to deal with this matter. Commissioner Hogan deserves great credit for his speech and what he has now promised for the producers. He said that this would happen before the end of the year. He said that there has been a considerable reduction in the proportion of the margin and profitability going to the producer. His proposal is that he is prepared to fine retailers up to 1% of turnover for unfair practices. We must greatly welcome this news. I commend him on it and on the other good work that he is doing. I wish him very well today with Glanbia and with the other matters he is dealing with in Kilkenny and Waterford.
