Traders to take rent review fight to Europe

TRADERS who revolted earlier this year over controversial upward-only rent reviews are taking their fight to Europe.

Ireland South MEP Alan Kelly met key traders in Wilton Shopping Centre in Cork yesterday and pledged his full support.

He said he has serious concerns about how they are being treated and said he plans to lodge an official complaint with the EU’s director general of competition. The traders are planning to lodge a similar complaint.
