Publicans claim price of pint survey is misleading

A SURVEY which shows the price of a pint in Dublin is the highest in Europe is misleading, pub owners claimed yesterday.

Chief executive of the Licensed Vintners Association (LVA) Frank Fell admitted to being staggered by the European survey, which pointed to drink prices significantly contributing to Dublin's rank as the 38th most expensive city in the world.

"There's no comparison between Dublin and the high prices in Paris and London," said Mr Fell.
