They will double the 10c, they alway do, so it will be 20c really.

So it's €4 per 20 pints. Again, do you think that will stop people going out? Take it from me, someone who has worked in bars for 13 years now, it won't stop anyone for more than a weekend.

Feck off hitting drink again another 10 cent on the pint.

And 41% dirt, mother of god that's a disgrace, interest rates are low enough without dirt getting increased. They should be rewarding people who have money in savings not hitting them.

Never said it would, have worked in bars for about 8 years myself.

No increase in VAT or USC.

Anything on PRSI yet?

Yes it has

Excise duty on a pint of beer or cider, and a standard measure of spirits, is being increased by 10 cent, the duty on a 75cl bottle of wine is being increased by 50 cent."

Excessive saving is a big problem at the moment, which has to be discouraged. Increasing DIRT was a no brainer.

50c on wine...so up €1.50 in two years. No doubts the shops will double that increase. Before last year's budget I could always find bottles on offer in Tesco and Super Valu for €6. Now it's rare to find a bottle under €8!

Ease off the sauce...half the time, you're looking in the shampoo section...

As they say, the devil is in the detail, but I can't help feeling that the government bottled it a bit.

€2 on a bottle of spirits is a bit of kick.
