According to Eurostat, Ireland is the second most expensive EU country for goods and services.
It is more expensive for everything,above the EU average for everything, except consumer electronic goods-which are at the EU price average in Ireland.
It is the most expensive EU state for tobacco and alcohol at 1.75 times EU average.
It is third highest for items like cars and motorcycles at 1.1 times EU average.
It is fourth highest for hotel and restaurant prices and fifth highest for food and non-alcoholic drinks.
However Ireland and the EU remain cheaper than non-EU countries like Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.
Denmark is currently the most expensive EU country.
Bulgaria and Romania are the cheapest but with obviously much lower incomes than other parts of the EU.
Some of the cost in Ireland, will of course be due to being a peripheral island, with a small population, on the edge of Europe, with at least 60 miles of sea to get here, and with consequent high government taxes to fund the place.

It's terrible, there was a write up in the paper... The hotels are the worst... hows a girl supposed to make a dime with such overheads

At the end of the last boom I think 120% mortgages were offered in Britain. They would probably have been more common here too except the crash intervened. In the last boom/bust the most reckless lending, borrowing and property speculation was probably Ireland, Spain and Britain in that order.
