Madam, - last Friday's edition, Dan McLaughlin tries to convince us that, because our inflation rate is in line with the EU norm, "rip-off Ireland" is largely a myth.
Also in Friday's paper, Conor Pope tells us in his column "Price Watch" that a packet of Gillette Mach 3 razor blades costs €10.02 in Boots, Newry, compared with €16.80 in Boots, Dublin.
A myth? I don't think so. - Yours, etc.,
JONATHAN BAUM, Blackrock, CoDublin.
