Inflation hits the Dáil bar. But why is it still cheaper than most Restaurants?

from Moncrieff

Inflation has finally reached the corridors of power. TDs and Senators are now paying more for meals in the Dáil bar and Members’ Restaurant, with price hikes on everything from soup and burgers to calamari and lamb. While costs have risen across the menu, prices still undercut most Dublin city eateries — and notably, wine prices have been left untouched. So, is Leinster House feeling the squeeze like everyone else, or is this a reminder of how insulated political life can be?Joining Sean was Craig Hughes, Political Editor of the Irish Daily Mail
