Drink Price Increase

    The local pubs in the village where i live in the West of Ireland have increased prices of drink, e.g. ballygowan from €2.00 to €2.20, a 10% increase, in the last month. Did anyone hear that Ballygowan were increasing prices, has it happened elsewhere in the country?
    Just to clarify, all soft drinks (Coke etc.) went up from €2.00 to €2.20. Vodka and shorts went up minimum 10c, also all other beer products went up 15c. Again I thought it was only Guinness products that were supposed to be increased. Is this publicans being greedy again?

    Surely you mean "Profits not quite as massive as usual" when you typed "losses"?
