Comments on: What is the feeling of people in Ireland (Eire) about the inflation and the euro ? http://www.busireland.net/eire/what-is-the-feeling-of-people-in-ireland-eire-about-the-inflation-and-the-euro Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:52:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Beauty Spot http://www.busireland.net/eire/what-is-the-feeling-of-people-in-ireland-eire-about-the-inflation-and-the-euro/comment-page-1#comment-7869 Beauty Spot Sun, 31 Jan 2010 04:47:59 +0000 http://www.busireland.net/eire/what-is-the-feeling-of-people-in-ireland-eire-about-the-inflation-and-the-euro#comment-7869 Since the €uro came out everything has gone crazy with prices. We thought we had nothing with the punt. A few groceries can cost anything up to €100. The cost of living is terrible. Things you got free with the punt like car parking spaces you pay for everything now even plastic bags that you get for groceries. Houses are too expensive for the younger generation to buy. My sister, her husband and their family are in a one bedroom flat, they can't afford a house. The unemployment rate is very high. I am in training for the past 4 years. I have papers but I have to stay in training because I can't get a job and I need money coming in to pay the bills. People here hate the €uro, but i guess we will have to stick with it.<br><b>References : </b><br> Since the €uro came out everything has gone crazy with prices.

I can't BELIEVE how much cheaper Spain is compared to Ireland - a €50 in the supermarket will get you a decent amount of stuff in Spain, in Ireland, you can hardly support yourself for €50 a day for food. So we feel much poorer too, despite the higher figures! http://www.finfacts.com/irelandbusinessnews/publish/article_10004716.shtml<br><b>References : </b><br> The figures looked better, but the cost of living has shot up in Ireland over the past ten years, long before the introduction of the euro, and shot up again shortly after the euro came in, so the outcome is that the €50 seems to be the same as the old £20, and it’s not worth tuppence!
