The Director of Consumer Affairs, Carmel Foley, has criticised the raising of drink prices by some pubs near Lansdowne Road during last weekend's Six Nations rugby match.
A survey of ten pubs was carried out in the area on Friday and Saturday, finding that six of them substantially raised their prices on the day of the game between Ireland and Scotland.
The largest increase was €1 on a pint of stout in Maguire's of Baggot Street, bringing the price to €4.90 last Saturday.
Ms Foley said that while there was no breach of legislation, consumers should be aware of the practice.
