The CSNA delegation that met both Ministers Burke and Dillon recently asked them to deflect their suspicions on rising food prices away from laying blame at the feet of retailers.
We told them in no uncertain terms that we only ever rise  retail prices when new wholesale prices are applied by our suppliers. We were very clear that the gouging and profiteering, if it actually does exist, is further up the supply chain and it was there that they, CCPC and the Agri-Regulator should focus their investigations.
We have provided a link to an article in this weeks Irish Times which endorses our viewpoint and encourage you to read it – please see below
No appetite in Government to unwrap reasons behind rising food prices
