Competition Authority issued compliance notices to B&Q and Lidl stores for price mismatching

The CCPC found that individual B&Q and Lidl stores were advertising a price of a product lower than what it scanned for or the price paid at the till.

A B&Q outlet, a Lidl store, and the Dublin Mint Office were among 15 compliance notices served by the Consumer and Competition Protection Commission (CCPC) last year, a new report shows.

According to the Consumer Protection List for the year 2022, the CCPC also prosecuted three car dealers in court and served 17 fines - mainly for the display price of a product not matching the actual sale price.
