Profiteers and puritans ruining the Republic

This has not been an easy choice. I have been visiting the Republic on holiday and to see family for 20-odd years. My wife is from the Republic and we come over to see relatives and have a holiday twice a year.

Last year, we had a great time in Cork. Apart from some over-priced B&Bs and the continual rip-off pricing that the Irish and tourists suffer alike, we did find some good-value places and planned to return this September.
