Grocery ombudsman ‘a must’ for food fairness, says IFA's Jer Bergin

Ireland needs to follow the UK’s example and create a strong, independent grocery ombudsman, says IFA national chairman, Jer Bergin.

The IFA has conducted a sustained campaign for an independent retail ombudsman in recent years, and for a strong retail ethics code.

The farmer representative group has made the nomination of a retail ombudsman as a key demand in its general election 2016 manifesto.
