It’s not about the tax per se but by those who use it as an opportunity to “fleece” (some may disagree) everyone that encounters retail. I am a very believer in shopping local to ensure the shops stay open and local jobs are supported but why not wear a mask and ride a horse if you want to extract monies from those less fortunate. It’s the opportunity to ram prices up. My dad used to say when a pint hit £2 no one would buy it but hey ho here we all are. As for the purveyors of coffee don’t get me started. A friend of mine in the entertainment business where free coffees from a top of the range machine with top quality beans had worked out the cost of beans cup lid and the cost of boiling the water and average milk cost were provided to clients and that was a staggering eye opener. Maybe that might be a hint as to the proliferation of coffee shops. On a very positive note a little corner shop called “XL the d’s newsagent in bray Main Street provides excellent value with a nice bacon roll for €2-50 take a bow guys that is excellent value for money,
