Are we chasing the tail of the Celtic Tiger?

DRAMATIC headlines branding us “Rip Off Ireland” have become a bit of a cliché even if the headlines appear to be disturbingly appropriate to this country.

The latest rush to cliché territory has been the pretty shocking report showing we are dearer for a huge variety of goods than the majority of other EU countries.

What’s probably more distressing is that we no longer as consumers need further bombardment from the research industry telling us of our plight.
