Intervening on 'potential monopoly' in car parking at Dublin Airport a highlight for watchdog

The watchdog suggested it stopped the deal after finding it would lead to higher prices, less choice, and lower service quality for consumers, while it facilitated a new entrant into the car parking market at Dublin Airport.
Investigations into the Oasis ticket debacle, actions against retailers Temu and Shein, and dawn raids of home alarm companies were among the notable actions Ireland’s consumer watchdog said it took last year.
In its annual report, the Competition and Consumer Protection Authority (CCPC) said that 2024 marked a significant milestone as it marked its 10th anniversary with 44,000 contacts to its helpline aimed at supporting Irish consumers.
