Here’s the latest I can confirm:
- The Irish Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) announced enforcement actions against several retailers for pricing and consumer-protection breaches, including fixed payment notices related to mispricing at Mr Price stores in Cork and Kerry. The notices total six for Mr Price in Midleton (Cork) and Killarney (Kerry).[1][3]
- Other actions in the same CCPC sweep included Very (Shop Direct Ireland), SuperValu, Applegreen forecourt shops, and Munster Tech Centre (compliance notices and undertakings) as part of a broader crackdown on price display and related consumer rights issues.[3][1]
If you want, I can pull more details on:
- The exact products involved in the Mr Price price-display issues and the dates of the notices.
- The status and outcomes or follow-up actions for the other retailers mentioned in the CCPC actions.
Would you like me to fetch more precise summaries or generate a quick timeline? I’ll cite sources after each statement.
