National Consumer Agency (Ireland)

The National Consumer Agency (Ireland), now part of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), was established to protect consumers’ rights and ensure fair trading practices. Its role included providing information, investigating complaints, and taking action against unfair business behavior. It aimed to promote confident and informed purchasing decisions, enhance market transparency, and support economic fairness. Today, consumer protection functions are managed by the CCPC, which continues to oversee enforcement and advocacy to ensure consumers are treated fairly and have access to accurate information when buying goods and services.
