Madam, - Having just returned from a short stay in Brussels, I have once again been reminded of how much we are being ripped off here in Ireland.

A 500ml bottle of still water in Dublin Airport cost €1.65. A 500ml bottle of still water in Brussels-Midi train station costs 45 cent. A 1-litre bottle of water in the centre of Brussels costs 80 cent.

Thank God for the euro: the greed keeps shining through. - Yours, etc.,

DERRY MAGUIRE, Brian Road, Marino, Dublin 3.
