The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) consultation on the future of consumer representation in Northern Ireland has now closed and as readers will expect, the Consumer Council has submitted an in depth response. However, what has been really encouraging is that so many others took time to set out their reasons why consumer representation in Northern Ireland should be strengthened - not diminished or dismantled.

The Consumer Council is encouraging passengers travelling from Northern Ireland Airports to pre-book their airport car-parking when heading away on business or holiday this year.

February brings with it a three word tonic; mid-term break! Those lucky enough to have a few days off, may well decide to hot foot it to the nearest airport on the first flight out of NI for a change of scene. However, these days, booking a flight can present a dizzying array of options in terms of the additional extras you may need to choose before you’ve even set foot on the plane. These can also often bump up the cost of flights.

The Consumer Council is reminding the public that the deadline for the consultation on its future is Friday 17 January. It is encouraging consumers to make their voice heard if they wish to see the organisation remain in place.
