A Dublin department store known for selling Irish products has been hit with fines for failing to display the price of products.
The flagship Kilkenny Design store on Nassau Street in Dublin city centre was hit with two fixed payment notices following an inspection back in October. The fine is €300 and must be paid within 28 days of receiving the order.
Both orders were made on October 23 2025 following an inspection by the CCPC. Inspections are carried out both in store and online by the CCPC.
The report said: “Clydaville Investments Limited, the trader, was required to display the correct selling price of certain goods offered for sale. During an inspection at the trader’s premises at Kilkenny Design, 6 Nassau Street, Dublin 2, the CCPC found the trader to be in breach of this requirement by failing to provide the selling price of a product in accordance with the relevant legislation.”
Patrick Kenny, member of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, said: “At this time of year, when consumers are exceptionally busy and a lot of money is being spent, it is more vital than ever that prices are clearly and correctly shown in every shop, pub and restaurant in the country. CCPC officers will be out conducting inspections and where we find traders breaking the law, we will take action.
“We look forward to gaining the power to directly impose meaningful fines for breaches of consumer law, sending a clear signal to businesses that they must treat consumers fairly or face serious consequences.”
