Fecking Luxembourg, it’s utterly unacceptable to lose to Luxembourg unless it’s soccer
Expect FFG shills minimizing and deflecting in 3,2,1…
Healthy food is a problem and something we need to fix. Alcohol prices being high is a good thing though.
Just like Denmark, but with shit services, ugly cities and extra dog shit on the footpaths
Most expensive, terrible services.
We gotta get our act together if we’re ever to be No. 1.
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.
The reality is not so bad as you can see from my post.
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?
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.
Living the dream!
Seems like an opportunity for an entrepreneur.
This has to be horseshit food is cheap as chips here
I think this is the source, if anyone wants to dig deeper into the numbers:
I don’t know if the groupings are skewing the numbers or not, but I could not find a source to non aggregated data.
We should give the country back to the Brits
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
In other news, Water is still wet!!!
Surely this is set uo to end obesity and alcoholism.
