Why does everything still cost so much?
Published 2 years, 10 months ago
Description
When it comes to prices there’s no going back, Conor Pope, Irish Times consumer affairs expert and Pricewatch columnist tells In the News. Energy companies are promising some sort of reduction, not as yet revealed; supermarkets say they have dropped prices – but food inflation is still running well into double figures; and it’s a hard time to be both a borrower, with interest rates rising, and a saver with pitiful deposit interest rates.
What can consumers do to help themselves – and will the Government use the budget, now only weeks away, to step in?
Produced by John Casey and Suzanne Brennan. Presented by Bernice Harrison
