A Co. Roscommon car dealer has been convicted of misleading consumers about the history of second-hand cars following an investigation by the CCPC. Adrian Hardiman who is a car dealer in Loughglynn was sentenced to 80 hours of community service in lieu of three months' imprisonment by Judge Deirdre Gearty at Ballaghdereen District Court last Friday. Mr Hardiman was also ordered to pay the CCPC's costs of €8,241 within the next five months.
The CCPC brought a case against Mr. Hardiman following an investigation which established that he gave false information to consumers about the mileage of cars advertised for sale. The investigation was opened following complaints to the CCPC's helpline in 2020.
