Dublin among world’s costliest places to live

THE high price of living in Dublin has again been underlined by its listing as one of the 20 most expensive cities in the world.

Living in the capital costs more than enjoying the chic of Milan, the cool of Stockholm or the money markets of Singapore, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The EUI’s worldwide cost of living survey ranked Dublin at 16, a jump of five places into the top 20. The city now lies ahead of Berlin, Amsterdam and Lyon and lags only two places behind Hong Kong.
