Outrage as Tesco fails to pass on price cuts

CONSUMER leaders have reacted angrily at Tesco’s failure to offer Irish shoppers the same price cuts as it is giving its British customers in an €86 million price war promotion.

The supermarket giant announced yesterday it is to slash the cost of 350 top selling grocery items sold in its British branches.

However, Tesco Ireland said it would not be implementing the promotion in any of its 79 stores in the Republic.
