Six Dublin pubs hiked prices during Ireland-Scotland match

The Director of Consumer Affairs has criticised six Dublin pubs for raising their prices during last Saturday’s rugby match between Ireland and Scotland at Lansdowne Road.

Carmel Foley said her inspectors uncovered the price hikes during visits to 10 pubs in the vicinity of the stadium.

The inspectors compared prices displayed on Friday, March 26, and Saturday, March 27.

Ms Foley said the largest increase was found in Maguire’s on Lower Baggot Street, where a price of stout increased by up to €1 during the match.

The other pubs that raised their prices were Doheny and Nesbitt’s, Larry Murphy’s, Waterloo House, The Wellington and The 51.

Ms Foley said none of the pubs broke any laws as they clearly displayed the new prices.
