    So anyone notice any lately. I certainly have. Rice has gone up about 20 percent and butter too. They are just the ones I notice. We live in an expensive enough Country as it is this is only going to make it worse.

    Wait a sec. That doesn't happen until end of next month.

    You can't up the customs in advance. These price hikes are from your supplier. Butter sold in Ireland is largely produced here anyway.

    There have been no tariff changes yet, so those increases are not Brexit related.

    This is the result of Quantitive Easing

    Inflation.

    Which is the ECBs way to deal with Debt- Inflate it away

    Ireland was No.1 on the food security index last year and is second only behind Singapore now.

    We should be ok..

    There will be shortages of short shelf life products soon.

    We will be fine in general, and the food is generally cheap in Ireland , but the availability will suffer, and the prices will go up for all imported products.

    There is a bit of uncertainty over how bad it will be. But it will be bad enough to affect all of us.

    We create enough food on this little island for a population 10 times our size. If people stick to good quality farm produce, cut out the processed junk, it will help your wallet, health, and have the added bonus of watching the Brits flush themselves down the toilet.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    We're the ones who will end up stuffed.

    Tax harmonisation is on the way.

    We'll be an outpost, an insignificant province of the European empire with no friends.

    If there is no brexit food prices will go up as well because the brits can keep buying our stuff with no import taxes


    If it's not england trying to screw us it will be the EU

    Completely agree. We are just a small island between North America and non-EU Great Britain and with little to nothing in common with mainland Europe. As if Germany or France give the slightest bit of damn about little old Ireland now or in the future.

    And the Muppets in Leinster house just can't see far enough past the end of their payslips to see it coming. When they've done the bidding of Merkel, junkers etc for the brexit stuff, then the eye of sauron will swivel a couple of degrees west, and we're next. 4 million people an absolute drop in the ocean compared to Germany, France

    Sure it will, but you can't just live on carrot, turnips, parsnips and meat.

    There are many non processed food items delivered by boats. If those boats are delayed by custom checks, no matter how short these checks are, the boats get delayed.

    And to be fair if you there is loads of products delivered in containers by boats.

    Ireland is not as self sufficient as you might think and delays, extra paperwork, transport costs etc will cause price increase on the shelves.

    Don't think the same way the British did when it comes to food and how we can feed ourselves. We can't.

    No reason to leave Ireland if taxes are the same everywhere.

    Exactly. The government are a shower of scheming parasites. Anywhere they think they can make a few extra euros then Brexit will be used to hike up the prices.

    Well that’s just nonsense. Ireland is one of the wealthiest, fairest, and safest countries in the world. We are always ranked in the top 10 in quality of life reports from the UN. Albania is a dirt poor country with enormous levels of corruption and huge levels of inequality.
