Takeaway coffee in the coffee shop upstairs in the Pavilions, Swords over the weekend was €4.40 

The Government refused a Sinn Fein motion to stop a price increase at the pumps 

€5.90 for a chicken fillet roll earlier, had got one in a long time and was shocked

To be fair, they don't put price caps on any other product, getting a bit big brother if they can do that, there'd be nothing then stopping Shell selling their oil to Irish petrol stations at €2 a litre given they know the government will pick up the tab. It's be the biggest windfall profit year ever for oil companies

The price charged for a fresh chicken wrap with salad stuff is about 6 quid and they put the bare minimum on it. The odd time I'll ask for a little more of whatever ingredient, not because I want loads on it but because they've put on so little. You can be guaranteed any time this happens that there's an extra charge. Miserable f**kers.

Yup got a roll recently in a Spar store in Limerick. Used to always stop off here on the way to work and get a roll with chicken tikka. Some workers would pack the roll out and others were stingy but never charged if you asked for a bit more. Now they charge you 50c if you ask for a bit more.

In Kilkenny last week and was shocked a Chicken Fillet roll with two fillings was only €4.75. The best one yet is a small shop in Killaloe who charges €4 for a chicken fillet roll with two fillings.
