Kevin Foley, CCPC Director of Consumer Enforcement, said
“Traders must operate within the law. From corner shops to retail giants, businesses must provide the price information required by law so consumers can make informed choices.
“CCPC officers conduct year-round inspections and investigations, and we will continue to take enforcement action where appropriate to address breaches of consumer law. We strongly encourage people to report potential consumer law breaches to us at CCPC.ie or 01 402 5555.”
The CCPC has previously published the details of 42 enforcement actions taken in 2026, including three prosecutions. Full details of all CCPC consumer protection prosecutions, undertakings, compliance notices and fixed payment notices are available at ccpc.ie/CPL
Separately, CCPC officers conducted inspections of contracts in over 30 nursing homes across the country in recent weeks. Earlier in 2026, the CCPC issued a letter to the sector highlighting a number of potential consumer protection issues.
