“Prices must come down at the till.' The Government must be “more curious” about the source of profiteering that has led to high grocery prices, according to a Sinn Féin TD.
Deputy O’Reilly said the Government need to be “a little bit more curious” about where profiteering is happening as the European Central Bank said it is likely happening.
“It is a function of international instability and a lot of other factors – you have energy, the cost of employment.” “If you're a cornershop in a village, you're a hub in that village and you need to be supported,” he said. “But your unit cost is going to be much higher than if you're a Lidl outside of town.”Deputy O’Reilly said the Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme is not being taken up by enough small businesses.
