Republic is second most expensive euro zone country for food and alcohol

  1. Fecking Luxembourg, it’s utterly unacceptable to lose to Luxembourg unless it’s soccer

  2. This makes sense. I mean Ireland is renowned for not producing alcohol or food so it all has to be imported from Korea or some such place.

  3. Where would we come if they took food on its own? Foreign nationals that I work with have commented that our food is extremely high quality for the price. Is minimum unit pricing for alcohol skewing the stats?

  4. Dairy products 25% more expensive on average than in the rest of Europe even though we produce massive amounts of it. That’s the Irish Dairy Board ripping us off.

  5. One think that struck me about Denmark when I lived there is the organic / vegan / gluten or whatever wasn’t as heavily marked up. Here it feels like a €2 jump for that stuff. So that makes it feel even more expensive here. They can get whatever speciality food without paying loads more
