    With Tina Leonard Banking charges and switching banks We pay around €120 a year on banking charges; clocking up the charges each time we take money from the ATM or make a lodgement. With transaction charges from Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Bank and Danske Bank only introduced in the past year, many people are still coming to terms with these new charges and wondering if the days of free banking are well and truly over. Well, one bank - Permanent TSB - has just shaken up the market by introducing free banking. So, now is the time to assess ...

    Consumer Affairs: Pricing

    Before you decide whether to buy something or not you need to know the price in order to make an informed decision. But did you know that there are several pieces of legislation governing how prices are displayed and where, and that they should be shown in the first place? Nevertheless, if you want to buy the services of a doctor or a solicitor for example you might find no prices displayed at all. So, what are the rules on prices display, who isn’t displaying them and what are the things you need to look out for. Tina Leonard is ...

    With Tina Leaonard Food Labelling With the discovery of trace elements of horse DNA in some of our supermarket burgers, there has been a focus on what information should be on the label and what information consumers should be given before they make their decision to buy a food product. Current food labelling legislation needs to improve and although new legislation is on way, it’s still almost two years’ off. So, just what should be on the label of a food product, what changes are on the cards and are some supermarkets ahead of the law in terms of giving ...

    NCT tests Last year the number of vehicles put through the NCT test breached the one million threshold, but just over 48% of them passed. At a cost of €55 and €22 for some retests, plus any servicing or repair costs that may be required, it can be a big financial outlay. So, are more cars failing the test now or have those numbers been consistent over the years? What are the main reasons for failing the test and what should you look out for if you need to get your car serviced. Tina Leonard has been looking into it. ...

    Consumer Affairs: Increase in Food Safety Enforcement Orders.

    Tina Leonard, Consumer Affairs Expert. When you’re buying something at the deli counter do you notice whether the person handling the food has their hair tied up or whether they are wearing gloves? But if so, do you know whether they are disposing of the gloves rather than wearing the same ones to handle a mix of raw and cooked foods for example? And what about the hygiene in the kitchen of a café or restaurant that you don’t get to see? Well, there is a range of food safety laws that any business serving food must comply with and ...

    Consumer Affairs: Change to telephone allowance scheme.

    Change to telephone allowance scheme If you are aged over 66, the bill for your landline is set to rise from February. That is because the telephone allowance provided by the Department of Social Welfare is decreasing in line with last December’s budget. If you fall into that category it means an increase to your bill of between approximately €13 and €18 per month. Tina Leonard was here to explain exactly what the changes are and how you can negate this loss by getting a better deal either from your phone provider or by switching to another. What is the ...

    With Tina Leonard Car Servicing Many of you will be relieved to read this morning that plans to force cars more than six years old to undergo an annual NCT have been dropped. Recently Tina Leonard was here to talk about NCT tests and we discovered, for example, that the pass / fail rate was consistently around 50 / 50 and that the complaint levels were very low at only 0.07%. We received many comments from our listeners so Tina is back to revisit the topic. But if you need to do so, how do you make a complaint about ...
