No Tall Ships rip-off plea to city’s traders

THE ORGANISERS of the Tall Ships race have appealed to the business people of Waterford not to hike up their prices as the countdown to the event continues.

There are fears that some unscrupulous publicans or restaurant owners might increase their prices, as happened in neighbouring Kilkenny during the Cat Laughs Festival.

The practice, as well as the non-displaying of pub drink prices was slammed by the Director of Consumer Affairs.
