The ongoing cost of living crisis is affecting many Irish households, with the price of almost everything seemingly on the rise.
Among the industries hit by recent hikes is pubs, after both Heineken and Guinness upped their prices.
This means pubgoers are forking out more money for certain pints.

In some areas of Dublin, pints have hit the €10 mark. A recent Irish Mirror investigation found that three out of six pubs in the Temple Bar area were charging in excess of €9.50 for certain tipples.
Temple Bar Pub was “the most expensive” with lagers and ciders costing an eye-watering €9.95 - believed to be the dearest in the country. Meanwhile, Guinness or Murphys will set punters back €8.95 and a half pint costs €4.95.
Down the road at Oliver St. John Gogarty’s prices weren’t any cheaper with a pint of Heineken and Rockshore costing €9.90 while stout was €8.90.
Close to the Ha’penny Bridge, The Merchant’s Arch was selling Rockshore Cider for €8.50 during “regular hours” but this rose to €9.50 during “late hours”.
It comes as Dublin Live recently visited Temple Bar to ask visitors their opinions on the price of drinks in the city centre.
A group of ladies visiting from Birmingham for a hen party said the prices were too steep. They explained they had to pay €22 for a double shot.
“When it’s rounds going on, it’s a hell of a lot," one of the women said. Although she added it wouldn't deter her from returning to the capital - but next time she may "drink tap water".
Other tourists were okay with paying that much if the "ambience" of the pub was worth it. With the cost of living crisis being felt globally, they said the prices aren’t that much different for them at home.
Prices are a problem for the Irish however, with a man from Donegal saying there was absolutely no way he would pay too much for a pint. He said: “If a pint in Donegal is €5.40 we’re complaining and you can still have live music.”
