      The watchdogs in Ireland are a bunch of toothless dogs. None of the price gouging would pass in other countries in the EU, let alone a lot of 3rd world countries.

      I was putting together a Tesco delivery last night, after fruit and vegetables, milk, 2 yogurts and eggs I was at €55. A bag of potatoes is €8.50 now. My income most certainly has not kept up the same pace, this is unsustainable.

    3. Went to Dealz yesterday to stock up on cleaning supplies and I have to say they were not really any cheaper than the supermarkets now on lots of products. Same with Mr Price. There’s no savings to be had anywhere now.

      same with childcare, insurance, hotels and broadband, just be sure to keep voting them in. They have our back.

      Minimum unit pricing on Alcohol is the best one. The profit goes straight to the suppliers rather than the health system. Got to admire that ones. The bums on the streets can drink more classy alcohol these days.

      In fairness income tax in Ireland is also rather low and some percentage of people in tech/sales/pharma/business etc do have salaries above the EU average too. 
      Especially if they are homeowners irs a lot of income.
      Homeowners with bad jobs might have to tapp into the endless €€ of renting out a spare bedroom.

      The rest of people are kinda fucked naturally

    8. Another confirmation of our lived reality, and not one single thing will change. Actually I tell a lie, they’ll probably get higher.

    9. Okay our usual experts, tell me, has consumer spending actually increased in a good way? As in you can buy more shit? Cause I highly doubt 

    10. Adjusted for average wages,I’d say we’re not too out of line on prices (except for alcohol and tobacco which are priced for policy reasons)

    11. Also one the highest average paid workers in Europe so obviously things will be more expensive

      Genuine question.
      Can the government actually do anything at all to bring prices down?
