The heading reads: “2026; What’s in and out?” Below, two sections are shown: Ins (marked with a green check mark): • New powers – we want to fine businesses that break consumer laws • Clearer rules – for consumers on sales and contracts • Better powers – to track down companies colluding to drive up prices for government contracts • Right to repair – we need to use goods for longer Outs (marked with a red prohibited symbol): • Hiding behind fine print – Businesses shouldn’t bury your rights in legal jargon • Greenwashing & fake claims – Misleading sustainability promises won’t fly The background is white with black text, and the note interface shows icons for camera, pen, and share at the bottom.

ALT A graphic titled “Black Friday Research 2025” shows a receipt with consumer advice under the heading “While Shopping.” The tips include: Compare across retailers: Use price comparison tools or apps to ensure you’re getting the best deal. Check return policies: Changing your mind after buying in-store does not legally entitle you to a refund. Check the store’s return policy before making a purchase. Don’t buy just because it’s cheap: If you wouldn’t buy it at full price, reconsider buying it on sale. At the bottom, it says: “Compare prices, know return rules, and don’t buy just because it’s cheap.” The CCPC logo and a barcode appear below, with a link: ccpc.ie/BlackFriday2025.
