14 photos that conclusively prove that Dublin is an absolute rip
A SURVEY THIS week put Ireland as the second most expensive country in the EU for goods and services.
Yeah, sounds about right.
But we don’t need fancy surveys or statistical breakdowns to tell us this – we just have to look around. And nowhere is worse than Dublin for having lost the run of itself:
1. It’s a place where you can pick up a 1916 commemorative candle for a snip
2. A city where discounts aren’t a good thing
Whoops!

3. Where you pay through the nose for carpet like this
Whoops!

4. Travelling fans stumble into Temple Bar unaware of what they’re getting into

14. Even the items that are mismarked are absolute rips
Whoops!

And the fact that it takes you a second to realise that’s not the real price says it all.
