Irish consumers losing out compared to Britain

IRISH consumers are paying over €100 more than their British counterparts for certain products.

This is according to a survey of random items in stores such as Tesco, Aldi and Argos in both Ireland and Britain.

Gillette razors in Tesco, for example, were almost €4.40 more expensive in Ireland than in Britain, while a tin of Heinz beans was almost double the price in Ireland. A Britax car chair in Argos was over €100 more expensive in Ireland.
