Campaign to protect consumers

CONSUMERS turning to the internet or mail-order catalogues for their shopping are the target of a new €750,000 Government advertising blitz.

The National Consumer Agency (NCA) yesterday said the campaign was a response to growing demand from consumers to know more about their rights.

“We’ve had consumer protection laws for internet and mail-order shopping for a number of years but people just don’t know about them,” said NCA boss Ann Fitzgerald.
