Cost of living: Labour calls for price caps as it accuses supermarkets of 'grocery price-gouging'

The Labour Party has called for Ireland's consumer watchdog to investigate supermarket prices as it accused major corporations of "potential price gouging" and "profiting" from the cost-of-living crisis.

Labour Enterprise spokesperson Ged Nash also called for the Government to introduce price caps on certain goods, arguing that it has enough money to introduce further measures.

Speaking in Leinster House on Tuesday morning, Mr Nash said that updates from the stability programme show that Ireland is in a good financial position and is likely to have "record-breaking income tax levels" in 2023.
