from todays Indo, Diageo are putting the pint up by 5c after VAT. As publicans did'nt follow suit last June on the last price rise from Diageo, they are now expected to do so....
The Indo reckons the price could go up between 10-15c....so Lager in a lot of Dublin city centre pubs will be over €5.
I was talking about this here in work and a few colleagues reckon this could be the breaking point...having to hand in more than a fiver/tenner for 1/2 pints. I'm inclined to agree. At least it would make me think more about the cost of a night out.
Can anyone remember the average price of a pint in Dublin on 31/12/01, pre the introduction of the euro???? It would be interesting to compare prices to now....or even to 31/12/99 around the time of the millenium.
