The shop is among 13 enforcement actions taken by the CCPC for breaches of consumer protection law nationwide.
Patrick Kenny, member of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, said,
“At this time of year, when consumers are exceptionally busy and a lot of money is being spent, it is more vital than ever that prices are clearly and correctly shown in every shop, pub and restaurant in the country.
“CCPC officers will be out conducting inspections and where we find traders breaking the law, we will take action.
“We look forward to gaining the power to directly impose meaningful fines for breaches of consumer law, sending a clear signal to businesses that they must treat consumers fairly or face serious consequences,” said Mr Kenny.
