Tánaiste expresses concern over retail prices

The Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise has said the failure of retail outlets to bring down their prices remains a major cause of concern.

Mary Coughlan made the comments at Fianna Fáil's Ard Fheis in Citywest in Dublin today.

Over 4,000 delegates attending the event will see candidates being briefed on the party's strategy for June's local elections.

While tonight the Taoiseach will give his keynote address.

Mary Coughlan told delegates that if shops were more realistic less money would cross the border into the UK exchequer.
