The Sales Law Review Group has held two meetings since its establishment in late November 2008.

As the proposed EU Directive on consumer rights is currently having a first reading at the Council Working Party on Consumer Protection and Information, the Group has decided to give initial priority to the provision of its terms of reference dealing with the proposed Directive. It has already submitted material on the proposed Directive to my Department and hopes to complete a more detailed analysis of the proposed Directive and its implications for Irish consumer rights and law by April.
