Eir, Bord Gáis and Harvey Norman top list of consumer queries to watchdog last year

Aer Lingus was the subject of 307 complaints made to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission last year.

Complaints to the consumer watchdog about utilities and fuel more than doubled last year, as more people made contact over Eir than any other company.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) said that issues with vehicles and transport topped the list of consumer concerns for the second year in a row, with complaints about telecommunications and holidays, and travel also featuring highly.
