    Which question was that? I asked why a retailer in IRL had a different warranty term than that in EU law. Where did I answer that?

    I made it clear what my reasonable expectation was and why I was returning the item. To me it was a defect and in my opinion it was reason enough to return the item. I didn't look for a refund or anything for free.

    Warranty is to do with something lasting a reasonable amount of time, nothing to do with you liking something or not - so stop bringing up warranty

    It never went anywhere. I just asked about the EU two year warranty in Ireland and I got a world of hate. Which I kinda enjoyed until it started to look defamatory.

    The 2 year EU law you were reading about is a Directive. Directives do not automatically apply to every country, they have to be enacted in local legislation to take effect. (In contrast an EU Regulation, like the GDPR, automatically takes effect in all countries when it is issued).

    Ireland did not adopt the EU Directive as our consumer laws were deemed to provide greater protection than the EU Directive.

    Hope this helps
