Tesco fined for breaching price laws

IRELAND’S largest grocery supermarket has had to pay €3,500 in fines and costs after 28 breaches of pricing laws.

Tesco’s branch in Dundrum Town Centre was brought before Dublin District Court yesterday following an inspection by the National Consumer Agency (NCA).

Inspectors found the supermarket had failed to comply with laws requiring retailers to display the price of a product as well as the cost per kilogramme, litre or other unit.
