Ireland no longer value for money – so ‘shove it’

I’VE been reading about concern over the fall in numbers using Dublin airport and how the number of visitors from North America has fallen this year by one-third – despite the increased value of the dollar against the euro.

Why the surprise? Through a combination of greed and incompetence, Paddy is quickly pricing himself out of the tourism market. Value for money is extremely rare for a visitor to the Emerald Isle.

On arrival at Dublin airport a céad míle fáilte to rip-off Ireland awaits you. A traditional Irish breakfast will set you back €14.95. Should you want a (small) glass of orange juice to accompany your breakfast, well it will be an additional €3.50.
