Department of Enterprise calls foul on nappy stunt

THE Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment has called foul on an appeal by TV presenter Eddie Hobbs to send nappies to Minister Mícheál Martin.

The department last night dismissed, as a stunt, the delivery of 250 nappies by members of the public, reportedly disgruntled by the Groceries Order - which is under review.

Financial adviser Mr Hobbs’ suggestion to target the minister came during his Rip-Off Republic programme on Monday night last and eight days after a deadline for the receipt of submissions on the Grocery Order.
