Dublin more expensive than Paris, says survey

IT is more expensive to live in Dublin than Paris, claims a survey of EU capitals.

Less than one month after a Forfás report found that Irish shoppers pay the second highest prices in the 12-nation eurozone, it has emerged that Dublin is the third most expensive EU capital, with only London and Copenhagen costing more.

Having a cup of coffee, drinking wine, taking a taxi - all of these pursuits are more expensive in Dublin than Paris.
