    partial quote:

    "Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade & Employment, Mary Harney, today (Wednesday 10 March 2003) announced the appointment of a new Strategy Group to advise on the development of a national consumer policy. The Tánaiste described the move as "a significant initiative designed to improve and promote consumer rights in Ireland".


    Making the announcement, the Tánaiste said: "The time has come to put an end to horror stories of rip-off Ireland. That can only happen if consumers are given more power, more voice and more influence. This is about much more than simply encouraging consumers to shop around. Consumers must know their rights, know how to enforce them and have confidence in the system to back them up when their rights are denied. Consumers must be given the opportunity to influence law-making in Ireland and business must learn to value a satisfied customer as an important asset." "

    And this sits so well with:

    "Hello xxx,

    Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

    Some fresh fruit is sold by quantity, ie. pre-packed bags of apples, these
    products do not require either weight or price per weight labels.

    If your question is in relation to any other Tesco product, can you please
    identify exactly which product is in question, and I will investigate.

    Regards,

    Richard Conlon

    So as part of our consumer protection tesco (Dunnes don't do this) sell bags of apples without weight.. really easy to compare their price with loose apples .. really easy to do what harney tells us to do and compare prices.. isn't it time Harney stopped mouthing and doing a Seamus "This is a disgrace , I'm going to draft a law any day now to sort it" Brennan and instead actually did something for the consumer.
