My Department is currently examining possible overstocking in respect of a number of sites operated by the company referred to by the Deputy.
In relation to one of the sites, I have concluded my consideration of the issue and my Department will be following up with the company in relation to the matter.
Examination of the matter in relation to the other sites is ongoing and I will be giving consideration to those cases once the investigations are concluded.
