Wonder if this Is just a straight up price comparison?
Or is it calculated as a “cost” V.s Income?
Ireland most definitely has a significantly higher average salary than most of the EU.
>The high level of overall prices in Ireland was largely driven by expensive alcohol and tobacco, energy, transport and communications prices, the report found.
Seems like the staple for high taxes of booze, smokes, fuel and electricity
It really means nothing if it’s not relative to salaries. I moved here from Poland two years ago and the prices of goods relative to salaries are still much much lower here than they were in Poland back then (and in the meantime Poland was hit by the inflation hard, when I’m visiting now I can’t believe how expensive things are).
