Dear ol’ Dublin – not so dear any more

DUBLIN has plunged nine places in the global cost of living survey but it is the most expensive place in the world for fast food.

The capital is now the 25th most expensive city in the world, according to a survey by consultants Mercer Human Resources.

The firm measured the cost of more than 200 items, ranging from the price of renting a flat to buying a newspaper in 143 cities.
