Ireland Now Has Highest Healthcare, Housing, Electricity And Alcohol Prices In EU

New figures from Eurostat show Ireland is now the most expensive country in the European Union for housing, health costs, alcohol and electricity, while overall prices here are 36% above the EU average.   The figures have reignited debate about the cost of living, government policy, housing, healthcare and energy costs, with opposition parties accusing the Government of failing to tackle affordability, while coalition parties point to record investment and external factors driving inflation.   Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to discuss the findings were Meelick Fianna Fáil TD, Cathal Crowe and Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan.
