My Department has no direct responsibility for the compilation of statistics associated with the market penetration of own brand goods in the Irish grocery sector. I understand such data would typically be available from market research companies and I would direct the deputy to these for detailed information.

I am aware that the Competition Authority has produced a number of recent reports focused on the grocery sector which may also assist the Deputy. These are available on the authority's website: http://www.tca.ie/PromotingCompetition/MarketStudies/MarketStudies.aspx
