No, it would not. I am calling on the Government to investigate the Irish warranty market because this is a case of buyer beware. Many problems with electrical equipment will be covered already by the manufacturer's warranty. These additional policies sold at the counter by staff on commission allow the purchaser little time to consider the covers' details and its cost. This is a major issue that needs to be investigated. Will the Leader ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to examine this as customers are paying in excess for cover they may not need at all for electrical goods?
