We are all not surprised by these figures i guess.The cost of living in Ireland is a disgrace...and has been for years. Also..no wonder cigarette smuggling is rife! http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0628/prices.html
dry your eyes mate get used to it or leave their the options aslong as we have these goons running the country its here to stay
This bit really suprised me...".Ireland recorded the highest prices in Europe for dairy produce such as milk and cheese - 37% above the average. UK Dairy produce was 5% below the average price." isnt Paul o'Connell in that ad telling us all to buy Irish produced milk etc! puts that in a new light....
In France last month 8 Danone Actimel were €2.30 - In Dunnes the other night 8 Danone Actimel were over €4!!
its makes me sick.ive posted here before about being able to buy van tyres up north 8 for the price of 4 here and good ones not some crappy ones.wtf.
COUNTRY WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST WAGES HAS HIGHEST COST OF GOODS SHOCKER! Doesn't have the same ring does it? If you wanna pya 20cent for a litre of milk move to romania and get 1/10th of the wages. Or shuddup moaning about stupid things. ****ing papers and idiots.
Lads I know your cost of living is expensive in the south but and being from the north I have noticed that everything is roughly about 30 percent more below the border. However the wages up here a rubbish compared to yours and we have no unions to regulate the wages in the construction industry up here so we get paid buttons by greedy cnuts of contractors. Most people are paying minimum wage up here for skilled jobs and getting away with using the recession as an excuse.
For anyone with no kids or mortgage, it's a gift! You seen the booze promotions in Tesco lately?! The consumer price index is at such a level, that even after cuts to jobseekers, doleys have never had it so good!
Nothing to do with the cosy cartel of greedy retailers..car dealers..drinks industries..ect,ect, Its pure greed,and the rip off has been going on for years. 84% of irish people say we are been ripped off...Fcuk knows what ivory tower the other 16% are living in... though its probably the elite...who keep telling the irish people to bend over and take it quietly. Next they will be telling us the worst is over,And it will be a fairer society!
