Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Does the Minister agree there is a low level of consumer awareness? I accept there is a motivation, through the establishment of the National Consumer Agency, to correct the deficit in information for consumers. For whatever reason, Irish people are not aware of their rights to the same extent as consumers in other jurisdictions. A concerted initial effort is required by the National Consumer Agency to ensure people are fully informed. Is there a specific initiative that the Minister will advise the National Consumer Agency to undertake to ensure citizens have the best possible information about their consumer rights?
