FOOD prices continue to spiral. Ireland's shopping basket is the dearest in Europe.

Lamb has become the caviare of Irish gastronomy. Suppliers are not the culprits in this instance. Greedy supermarket chains make profits of up to 60%. It's nonsense to suggest that overheads swallow up prices. Our EU neighbours give value for the euro. We don't.

All of a sudden Irelands shops are the greedy ones. Nothing to do with the massive inflation they have, that need high interest rates. Oh but Ireland can't do anything about that can they! Dance with the devil and don't be surprised when you pay with your soul!
