Rún beartais

Cuireann rún beartais seasamh an Tí in iúl nó iarrann sé gníomh. Ní athraíonn sé an dlí ann féin ná ní chuireann sé iallach dlíthiúil ar an Rialtas an beartas a chur i bhfeidhm.

Ciallaíonn Tá 'tá' agus Níl 'níl' don cheist bheacht a cuireadh. Ní shoiléiríonn an vóta amháin seasamh iomlán ná cúiseanna TD.

An téacs iomlán ar vótáil na Teachtaí air

Chinn an vóta seo leasú ar leasú: athrú atá beartaithe ar an téacs ionaid, seachas ar an rún bunaidh.

Is féidir le rún roinnt tograí a chur le chéile. Baineann Tá nó Níl leis an gceist iomlán a cuireadh, mar sin d'fhéadfadh TD aontú le cuid amháin agus vótáil ina choinne fós mar gheall ar chuid eile. Léigh an fhoclaíocht iomlán, agus an díospóireacht inar thug na Teachtaí a gcúiseanna, sula nglactar leis an vóta seo mar sheasamh ar phointe ar bith amháin.

An rún mar a tairgeadh éArna thairiscint ag Deputy Jennifer Whitmore ar Wednesday, 9 July 2025

That Dáil Éireann:
notes that:
— households across the country are struggling to make ends meet as the cost of living soars;
— more than 70 per cent of people in Ireland are either, "extremely" or "very" concerned about the cost of groceries, according to the recent PwC's Voice of the Consumer Survey 2025;
— many families are now spending €3,000 more a year on groceries than they were in 2021;
— grocery prices have increased by nearly 40 per cent in the past four years, while the increase in the Consumer Price Index, over the same period, is 21 per cent;
— grocery prices have increased at three times the rate of general inflation over the past year alone;
— sky-rocketing grocery prices have been coupled with huge increases in other household costs, like energy and rent, and are putting a huge strain on low- and middle-income families;
— according to a recent Credit Union Consumer Sentiment survey, 15 per cent of Irish consumers would be unable to cope with a financial emergency costing €1,000;
— the number of children living in consistent poverty nearly doubled, to more than 100,000, in 2024; and
— the Children's Rights Alliance Chief Executive Officer, Tanya Ward, has described the cumulative impact of continued rising costs as "a landslide effect" for low-income families, meaning that basic necessities, such as nutritious food or a warm home have become increasingly difficult;
further notes that:
— on 10th May, 2023, then Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Neale Richmond T.D. convened a supermarket summit, an emergency meeting of the retail forum;
— Minister of State Richmond gave supermarkets six weeks to bring down the cost of groceries, but failed to ask them to reveal their profits;
— the meeting was a failure and in the more than two years since that meeting, prices have continued to soar; and
— there is a commitment in the Programme for Government to "strengthen competition by promoting price transparency in all sectors";
believes that:
— there is a lack of transparency around supermarket profits that is not acceptable given sustained and soaring prices;
— it is also unclear how much profit goes to producers, processors, and retailers in the chain;
— consumers have a right to know whether surging grocery prices reflect genuine input cost increases or price gouging; and
— accounting transparency by large grocery retailers is essential to protect household budgets, restore consumer trust, and ensure fairness in one of the most critical markets for Irish consumers; and
calls on the Government to:
— introduce legislation requiring all grocery retailers operating in Ireland with annual turnover above €10 million to publish full audited annual financial accounts;
— ensure that this requirement applies to all operators, whether Irish-incorporated or foreign branches, ensuring no retailer can claim foreign registration to evade transparency obligations;
— monitor and publish regular reports on the impact of this transparency initiative on grocery price inflation and competition in the retail sector;
— grant the Agri-Food Regulator the powers it needs to "compel the provision of necessary price and market information from relevant businesses in the agri-food supply chain, in order to fulfil its price and market data analysis function", as requested of the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine by the Chairperson of the Regulator's Board in September 2024; and
— amend the Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2014 to grant the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission statutory authority to compel the disclosure of information when carrying out market studies in line with powers already available in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions.

Leasú Uimh. 1Arna thairiscint ag the Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Deputy Niamh Smyth

To delete all words after " Dáil Éireann" and substitute the following:
"notes that the Government;
— recognises concerns with regards to the rising cost of groceries and the financial pressure on households;
— shares the commitment to ensuring fairness, transparency, and competition in the retail sector; and
— are actively progressing a range of targeted measures to support consumers and strengthen regulatory oversight;
in this context, notes that the Government proposes the following targeted actions, to strengthen transparency and protect consumers:
— with regards to strengthening the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC's) powers, and in line with the Programme for Government, progress legislative reforms to enhance the CCPC's enforcement powers, including the ability to impose stronger sanctions for breaches of consumer protection law, and this will ensure that anti-consumer or exploitative practices can be tackled more effectively;
— with regards to leveraging the CCPC's State of Competition Analysis, the CCPC's ongoing State of Competition work provides a robust evidence base to assess market dynamics in all sectors and identify where policy interventions may be required, and the Government will continue to engage with the CCPC on the potential for further analysis of pricing and margin trends, where appropriate;
— with regards to the CCPC's 2023 High-Level Analysis of the Irish Grocery Retail Sector, has sought an update to the findings, which found no evidence of market failure or excessive pricing, and highlighted that food inflation in Ireland has been among the lowest in the European Union, and this is expected in the coming weeks; and
— with regards to Consumer Empowerment Measures, will continue to support public awareness campaigns and digital tools to help consumers compare prices and make informed choices.".

Leasú Uimh. 1 to amendment No. 1Cinneadh sa vóta seoArna thairiscint ag Deputy Ged Nash

After "compare prices and make informed choices" to insert:
"calls on the Government to:
— commit to passing the Competition and Consumer Protection (Unfair Prices) Bill 2023; and
— instead of using over €700 million to cut the rate of Value Added Tax on hospitality in Budget 2026, to use these hundreds of millions to reduce child poverty with a targeted second tier of child benefit, and other measures to provide income supports to households.".
