Legislation to tackle rip-off culture ‘on track’

THE Government yesterday insisted that planned legislation, aimed at giving the National Consumer Agency (NCA) powers to tackle the rip-off Ireland culture, remained on track.

Yesterday marked the first anniversary of the announcement by Enterprise Minister Micheál Martin of the NCA and its 12-strong interim board members.

But it could be later this year before the new agency is granted a statutory footing.
