Rip off Ireland?

Irish youth are paying too much for stuff like CDs, mobile phone calls, accommodation, coffee, etc says Young Fine Gael.

Some of the facts included in a recent Young Fine Gael Survey are:

• An average week's shopping in Ireland costs 144% of the European average.
• The average monthly rent for a one bedroomed flat in Dublin city centre is almost €300 more expensive than the same in Barcelona city centre.
• Mobile phone charges are on average higher than in the rest of Europe.
