Show Notes

Ireland ranks as the second most expensive country in the EU, just behind Denmark. The cost of living is driven primarily by steep prices in alcohol and tobacco where Ireland tops the EU charts followed closely by food, which is also significantly above the European average.

Joining Andrea to discuss is Michelle Lawlor, owner of The Nude Wine Company, Claire Nash, owner of Nash 19 restaurant, Dylan Bradshaw, owner and Creative Director of Dylan Bradshaw Salon and Averil Sheehan from Care-A-Lot Childcare in Cork.
