Irish Examiner view: Industry must make right call

Grocery prices

We have already seen a situation with staples such as milk and butter, until retailers were embarrassed into reducing the prices of such staples.

A special meeting today of Ireland’s Retail Forum will hear reports of price gouging within the supermarket industry.

The meeting has been convened specifically to discuss how wide-ranging measures can be adopted to reduce the cumulative cost of our national grocery basket.
