About the author: Conor Pope is a consumer journalist and is responsible for the ever-popular ‘Pricewatch’ page, which has appeared every Monday in the Irish Times for more than four years. On this page, he reviews products ranging from latest HD TVs and digital cameras to bagels and and washing-up liquid.
He is a regular contributor to Today FM, RTE Radio, and Newstalk and he recently presented the consumer-aware Prime Time Special ‘Service with a Snarl’ which garnered huge reaction. While most people were ignoring the often exploitative charges and shabby service of the boom years, Conor Pope consistently and, almost uniquely, highlighted this situation. He exposed the poor practices of many companies who are household names and encouraged consumers to vote with their feet and pockets.
