By the way did anyone ever manage to rent out their house for €20-€30K+ for the Ryder Cup?
Yes - that's why I didn't assume anything of the sort above.On the flip side, neither is it accurate to assume that all instances of higher prices can be attributed to the economics of supply and demand.

So i told them the truth and i don't think they're coming here now.
Does this make me one of the "unpatriotic"?
Depends. What "truth" did you tell them?
About the weather and the prices...
What about the prices? That the prices of things in Ireland are at the level that everyone is willing to pay? Which is the same as the prices anywhere else?
This may well be economic fact, but it wouldn't be a helpful thing to say to tourists coming to Ireland, such as these Spanish people. You would be better off to give them some good information, like informing them it is about three times as expensive to eat out in Ireland as to eat out in Spain - then you could add that 'this is the price people are willing to pay' - if you wish the Spanish people in question to think you are a bit of a Pat Kenny
Three times more expensive?? where do you eat out, Shanahans?
You can easily get a great Pizza for 10-12 Euros (Da Pinos for example). Are you saying a Pizza in Spain is 3-4 Euros?
Wages are a lot lower though too...Yes!! 5 is max I've paid.
Yes!! 5 is max I've paid.
Who says higher prices are necessarily a rip off and not just the effects of supply and demand (e.g. the latter exceeding the former even more than usual)? More populist rip off Ireland rubbish.
