Why it matters
Regulatory enforcement ensures market transparency and protects consumers from deceptive business practices.
The consumer watchdog has issued enforcement actions against 18 traders for a range of consumer rights breaches, four of them in Donegal.
In total, 31 enforcement notices were issued by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission to shops and a pub, as well as online businesses.
Three of the orders were served in Letterkenny, and one in Ballyshannon.
The rest were in Dublin, Wicklow, Galway, Waterford and Kerry.
Failure to display prices Traders must display the full price on or near the products they sell so consumers can make informed choices. Licensed premises must display a comprehensive price list inside each drinking area and a set 16-item list at the entrance.
Failure to display unit pricing Certain goods must have a unit price displayed so consumers can compare the cost of similar products sold in different sizes, making it easier to find the best value.
