I hope I'm not the only one in this country who is tired of the repeated cycle of greed that eventually filters down to the average punter on the street. There are literally thousands of examples since the year 2000 and this is another one.
It’s as patriotic to shop in the North as it is to try to screw your fellow countryman by charging ridiculous prices for goods and services.
Irish competition seems to involve matching your competitor’s prices instead of beating them. Also when prices are reduced it seems on the goods of questionable quality.
BTW I never thought I see the day when I’d agree with Peter Robinson
we should all be careful here, particularly those of us who are paid more than our UK counterparts.
Minimum wage in UK: €6.84
Minimum wage in Ireland: €8.65
26% higher wage costs.
We're not - we're comparing item to item prices between ROI and NI, where NI population is much smaller.imho, we cant compare item to item prices with those in UK since the population of ireland is much smaller and overheads and turnover of the commodities make big difference to the prices..
Great points.I wonder how many politicians and tradesmen send their wives to new York for shopping every year or go on luxury holidays to far flung corners of the world. How many of them have bought property in other countries or invested in stocks in other countries.
