Ireland urges public to report fuel price gouging as probe into rising energy costs begins.

Irish residents are urged to report suspected fuel price gouging via a dedicated hotline after Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke called for an urgent investigation into rising petrol, diesel, and home heating oil prices. Burke confirmed engagement with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) over potential illegal pricing practices, emphasizing the need for swift action to protect consumers amid growing public concern over energy costs. The CCPC is now examining allegations of unfair pricing to ensure market fairness.
