Ok my advice is to ring Apple Directly

Ring them and say that you are covered under your consumer warranty however meteor want to send it back to an unauthorised Apple repair agent for fixing.

Having had experience with Apple, they can take over then, Apple sometimes will go beyond what is expected of them, and other times perhaps not.
However It is worth a try.

My own issue I had with the phone after 14 months, I said this story with three wanting to send to fonemenders, and they agreed saying it was not an ideal solution for me so they offered to do this through themselves and take over.

http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/consumer_affairs/consumer_protection/consumer_rights/consumers_and_the_law_in_ireland.htmlConsumer contracts are protected by the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act, 1980.

Under this Act the purchaser of goods has a number of rights - the main ones are:

Goods must be of merchantable quality – goods should be of reasonable quality taking into account what they are meant to do, their durability and their price
Goods must be fit for their purpose – they must do what they are reasonably expected to do

Quote this at Apple / Meteor, you're protected, you just may need to stand your ground on it. Solicitors letter would be the right way forward rather than SCC IMO

My iPhone 4 is approaching said many of years, ie Four years with more falls and abuse that you can shake a fist at, it never got wet though, even a tiny bit damp, I was anal about that.

Just mentioning as a comparison. I also know my iPhone 3 is still going strong too, that's six years in service ~ and I hammered that phone.
