Consumer watchdog vows to crack down on motor industry
Ireland's consumer watchdog has vowed to take action against the motor industry for 'anti-competitive practices', such as telling customers their warranty will be void if they go to independent garages for repairs. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has written an industry-wide letter to say that consumers must not be prevented from freely choosing who services or repairs their vehicles, or what parts they use. While they have not yet issued formal proceedings against any company, the CCPC said it stands ready to act if illegal practices are identified. 'Motorists must be free to choose where they service their vehicles and what parts they use without fear of losing their warranty,' its director of antitrust Craig Whelan said. "Independent garages must not be blocked from accessing essential diagnostic data or tools." These restrictive practices hurt consumers, stifle competition, and unfairly advantage authorised dealerships. The CCPC said its action was prompted by contacts made to its helpline and complaints mailbox. This included that a warranty on a vehicle had been declared invalid because a consumer got it repaired at an independent garage outside of the brand's network of 'authorised repairers'. It also said that motorists had been warned their warranty would be made void if non-manufacturer supplied parts were used in routine maintenance or repairs. Furthermore, it said certain independent mechanics are unable to repair or service vehicles because they cannot access repair and diagnostic tools and onboard diagnostic data for some cars on Irish roads. Restrictions on competition 'leads to higher prices' Mr Whelan told the motor companies: 'Restrictions on competition between independent repairers and authorised repairers leads to higher prices and lower quality of service for motorists. 'The invalidation of warranties on the basis of getting a vehicle serviced or repaired outside the brand's authorised repairer network further results in increased costs for motorists as they may have to pay out of pocket for repairs that may otherwise have been covered under the vehicle's warranty.' He said the CCPC has the power to take enforcement action against businesses suspected of engaging in these practices with the power to dish out fines stretching into tens of millions of euro. The motor companies have been told to review the agreements they have in place to ensure they do not result in 'anticompetitive conduct'. If the arrangements they do have do constitute this, they should seek to have them amended or revised. 'You should engage with your authorised repairers to ensure that motorists engaging with your partners are not mistakenly led to believe that their warranty may be at risk if they were to use independent repairers or non-original spare parts for routine maintenance and repairs not covered by the vehicle warranty,' Mr Whelan added. The CCPC is also telling independent garages they have the right to freely repair vehicles, use non-original parts which are of a matching quality and to access repair and diagnostic tools. It urged any such garages to report unfair experiences, such as being prevented access to diagnostic data or tools, to the CCPC.

Caitríona Redmond: These are the red flags to look for when buying online
From the rapidly increasing price of food to the cost of rent or a mortgage, we are all feeling the squeeze. With less money and a quality of life to maintain, small wonder more of us are turning to alternative marketplaces to buy and sell what we want. Buying from genuine retailers and resellers gives us, as consumers, extra protections such as guarantees, warranties and rights if the goods are faulty. What happens when you opt to buy elsewhere in search of a bargain or that must-have product? Watch out for places where you'd ordinarily trust the seller like community groups on Facebook or WhatsApp. Look for red flags like dramatically low prices for popular items and pictures of items such as new runners sitting on top of branded boxes. The boxes may be authentic but pay attention to stitching, sole patterns, and logo size or placement. In the case of shoes, buying fakes can lead to a world of pain over time. Soles and supports in shoes are designed and developed to support the foot, arches, and ultimately your back. A counterfeit pair of shoes is highly unlikely to have the same manufacturing standards. The old saying of 'you pay cheap, you pay twice' comes to mind. Wearing or owning fake clothes on holidays could also result in hassle. According to the US Customers and Border Protection, visitors can only possess one counterfeit item per type for personal use. In 2024, over 1 million clothing items and more than 600,000 pieces of footwear were seized for breach of intellectual property rights, otherwise known as counterfeiting. For example, each tourist can only possess one pair of runners and one t-shirt that is counterfeit. Imagine having your suitcase opened and holiday wear items removed under this rule? Everything over this individual item limit can (and will) be seized and destroyed. Food isn't immune to counterfeiting either, unfortunately, and many products have been 'shamrock washed' to make them look 100% Irish grown or produced. Shamrock washing is the process of making a product look Irish when it isn't. Honey is one of the worst offenders, but Irish beekeepers are doing all they can to keep this traditional art alive. It's soul-destroying to see honey that looks genuine, while the label says that it contains a blend of Irish and non-EU honey. Real Irish honey is expensive and for good reason. Most of the Irish beekeeping community are hobbyists (my family included). A 300g jar of raw, locally produced honey will set you back over €8. It's also likely to be crystallised or set, as opposed to a runny golden liquid. Raw honey isn't heat-treated, and the crystals form rapidly as a result. If you do see a genuine local beekeeper offering jars for sale online though, snap them up! Looking at those community groups online, it's not uncommon to see locals selling cakes or treats online. Boxes of cupcakes may look lovely but preparing food for sale is a huge responsibility. The first questions I'd be asking are if they have been registered as a food business, have they HACCP training, and what their allergens are. All of these are required by law for any individual or business preparing food for sale in Ireland and a minimum standard for selling food. Marketplace can be just the spot to pick up items of furniture, clothes and equipment to give them a second life. Watch out for what you are signing yourself up for, and when buying larger items, make sure you have a delivery service in place, or you can pick up that bulky set of shelves yourself. After all, a discount set of shelves in Ballybofey without delivery included to Ballybunion is no longer a bargain. Likewise, anybody who has used the local Marketplace or given away items for free is more than familiar with the local couch surfer who will comment under the post with lightning speed saying 'first' or 'still available?'. Make sure you set out your terms in your original sales post, being clear about what time you are free, and how you will get in touch with the recipient. Sometimes second-hand items are not always the best choice. In particular, child car seats which are designed to protect precious cargo in the event of an accident should only be bought new. The buyer has no way of knowing whether a second-hand seat has been involved in an accident, and its effectiveness is reduced as a consequence. The most fraught part of using these community groups and websites is connecting to exchange the goods. Make sure you confirm the agreed price in writing before setting a date, place and time. Where possible, don't meet a potential buyer or seller alone and arrange a meeting place away from your home or business. Don't hand over the cash or payment before making sure that you are happy with the item you have selected and ask for documentation and copies of any warranties or guarantees, particularly when buying an electrical item. Finally, if in doubt, walk away; it's not worth taking any risks. THE EXTRA FACTOR If you must pay for something online, make sure you have extra factor authentication on your card transactions and bank account. I also recommend two payment service options when buying online. The first is PayPal, which offers an extra layer of security as your card details are held elsewhere. The ability to request a refund if an item doesn't arrive on time or as expected is top notch. Secondly, using either ApplePay or GooglePay. These are more modern methods of paying online and by tapping in store. Every single transaction is allocated a unique identifier that cannot be duplicated or used a second time. This prevents your card from being skimmed and your bank account cleared. Read More Life Hack: Cupboard foods to move to the fridge when it gets hot

Government seeks to beef up Ireland's competitiveness
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission is to be given new powers and there will be a significant investment in artificial intelligence (AI) as part of a range of measures aimed at boosting competitiveness. On Monday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin is hosting a competitiveness summit along with Tánaiste Simon Harris and enterprise minister Peter Burke as trade talks between the EU and US enter a crucial phase. Under plans to protect the economy, three pilot clusters will be set up to enable collaboration between businesses, research centres, and third-level institutions, in particular high-potential and high-growth sectors. Critical skills review A critical skills review will also be completed by the end of the year to inform how to prioritise skills-based migration for those sectors facing particular shortages, including the tourism industry. The Taoiseach has met with most of the multinationals based here in recent months, and when he was last in US, the key message was the EU, and as part of that Ireland, is falling behind on AI because of over-regulation instead of innovation. A key focus will now be on investing in AI, speeding up policymaking, and reducing red tape to give Ireland an edge. The meeting, which will be attended by IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland, will include a presentation by Frances Ruane, chair of the National Competitiveness and Productivity Council on the recommendations in the forthcoming Ireland's Competitiveness Challenge report. 'Major investment needed' Mr Burke has stressed the importance of actions that must be taken now to improve the country's competitive offering and retain jobs. He will tell colleagues that a major investment is needed to ensure we do not lose out on jobs of the future and action must to be taken now on six key areas to attract foreign direct investment. Mr Harris will tell the summit the focus must be on working constructively to protect Irish jobs and investment and shield Irish businesses and consumers from any negative impacts. A competitiveness action plan, expected to be finalised in the coming weeks, will help insulate businesses from some of the global trade uncertainty. With the clock ticking to Donald Trump's July 9 deadline, Mr Burke struck a cautionary note on Sunday, saying the 'best case' scenario is now agreeing an outline framework that would then create a pathway to further negotiation between the US and EU. 'Obviously, there are number of areas that the EU are looking for, zero for zero carve-outs and favoured nation status,' he told RTÉ's This Week. 'These centre on aviation, life science, semiconductors, and spirits,' Mr Burke said.
