The Celtic Tiger seems to be alive and well at the Insomnia Bar in Spar at the corner of Georges Street and Dame Street [Dublin 2], where a large regular tea (one tea bag) yesterday cost €2.40.
Frequented by a large number of tourists, this price will certainly bring back word to the rest of Europe, that Ireland has recovered and is open for business…
FIGHT!
Update:
A ‘Large Tea’ set me back €2.70 in roscommmon town the other day!

Was in a pub in Kilcolgan [County Galway] this morning and there were a couple of receipts from a pub in Temple Bar for 8 quid pints framed above the urinal.
Not sure if it was a disgruntled tourist or a warning from the publican…
Gulp.

In a supermarket in L’Estartit, Catalonia, this morning. 2.5 litres of “finest Scotch”. I’d say paint stripper is probably dearer.
