Is it true that Ireland is now more expensive?

Question

Should I visit?I always wanted to.

Answer 1

Yes it's way more expensive than the States. It is one of the most expensive countries in the Eurozone and also because of the strong Euro you'll find that a weekend in Dublin can turn out more expensive than one in NYC!

Still, it's a beautiful country and it's worth visiting.

Answer 2

Yes very expensive. Try the north the British part and get lots more for your money.

Answer 3

I agree with John

I heard that too......and yes its verrrry expensive here

Depends on where you visit though

Cities such as Dublin (or anywhere on the East Coast) will be much more expensive than the more rural counties on the West Coast

Answer 4

It is way more expensive but don't let that stop you from coming over.

Answer 5

you never said where you are coming from, if its the US than yes, mainly because of the fall in value of your currency.  But that would be the same for all 13 countries in the euro zone, not just Ireland

Answer 6

Yes - the Republic of Ireland is more expensive. The people earn a fair wage now so prices have risen. The North of Ireland is still quite cheap though.

Answer 7

I really wanted to go to Ireland this summer until I learned how expensive it was. In a recent article in the NYT, I read that it is one of the worst times for Americans to visit Europe because of the falling value of the dollar. I hope that helps!
