Cost of living in Dublin

Sir, –   It’s heartening to know that the cost of living has reduced so greatly from the Celtic Tiger days that a family in Dublin could now (if they trimmed their outgoings) be expected to survive on a mere €9,000 per month (“Judge allows bankrupt family €9,000 a month”, Front page, November 14th). – Yours, etc,
