the reality is the further you go away from the brewing/distribution depot (e.g. Dublin or Cork) the cheaper the alcohol...why are they allowed to get away with it?

If I was to go out drinking at home, straight to the pub club etc I could get well oiled for around €60-€80. It would probably double that in Dublin to have the same amount of drinks.

At the same time staff costs cannot be much greater in Dublin as in the West surely to justify the high prices.   For example I'm currently off the drink for medical reasons and after the faroes game I purchased a bottle of non-alcoholic beer in a pub in Dublin which cost me €5! That's roughly €1.50 more than I pay for the same non-alco beer in London.   So what other costs are there in Dublin that drive the price of a pint higher than the west. After all the alcohol has to be transported to the west too.

Most pubs in England are brewery owed - freehouses are not the norm - The breweries have exclusive sales of their product so its cheaper. In Ireland there are huge insurance costs, Public liability ( people claim alot in Ireland) - double pay on sundays, bank holidays - holiday pay e.t.c. - our minimum wage is way higher than england. 7.30euro per hour uk and 8.65 euro in Ireland. Ireland also abides by every crazy health and safety act that europe invents.

As well - I am sure many people borrowed in the good times to make renovations, beer gardens, smoking areas - facelift so most do have some sort of credit - hell an accountant would advise it as the interest can be used as a cost.

The service industry is very expensive in Ireland -

Incidentally, dew drop cheapest pint I've ever had (bar O'Reilly's), round €3.60 mark
