      Lower drink prices and cigarette prices stay the same.

      12 cent off a pint. How generous.

      Anyway I'm off to the North to get my two crates of beer for 14 pounds.

      Don't mind that cock!!

      If Pubs wanted to charge less they always could.

      There are loads of places where the pint is €1 cheaper than in another bar just right accross the street.

      How much of the reduction will we see in pubs though.
      From the same lads who came up with the "gracious" idea of a price freeze?

      Do the drink price decreases apply to off sales too? I can see Tescos matching prices in the north if that is the case.

      If there's no reduction in beer prices soon we'll be driving up north to go to pubs/clubs at this rate. Good move, but I can't see it changing the scumbag publicans in this country.

      Brilliant, it is the equivalent of stealing your wallet and giving you a lollipop to make up for it.

      Not even a Chuppachup either

      You will still get the same 160 euro as they only reduced the full rate.
