Publicans warned they can’t take any more financial “blows” after price increases from Guinness brewer Diageo came into effect yesterday.
Hugh Hourican, who owns The Boar’s Head on Capel Street, Dublin, said he’s not charging more for a pint just yet but admitted he will have to increase it soon. He told Dublin Live: “We’re not happy about it at all. It’s hard to get customers in at the moment.
“It’s great people are back supporting us after the last three years but unfortunately all we can do is pass on the increase. It’s making our job harder, all our costs have gone up too like labour and power bills.
