Ireland is the second most expensive country in the EU, according to data from Eurostat.
Restaurant and hotel prices in Ireland are the second highest in the EU, behind only Denmark.
Additionally, alcohol and tobacco prices are the most expensive in the bloc, at 205 per cent of the average.
When it comes to alcohol and tobacco, much of this is due to Government taxation to curb associated health costs.
Ireland, however, is not expensive on all fronts: according to Eurostat, clothing prices here are 1% below the EU average.
