Consumer groups welcome plans to stop UK firms overcharging Irish customers
Saturday May 24 2008
Consumer groups are welcoming plans by the Minister for Enterprise to stop British companies from overcharging Irish customers.
It emerged this week that British retail stores operating here are over-charging customers by as much as 30 percent.
That is despite the weakness of sterling, which should make most items cheaper.
In a statement this afternoon, Tanaiste Mary Coughlan vowed to increase the number of price surveys, and provide greater information to customers.
