The price of a pint in many of Ireland's local pubs could be set for a rise as the hospitality industry recovers from the sporadic closures due to Covid restrictions over the past two years.
The Vinters Federation of Ireland (VFI) has said the increasing cost of energy bills and the cost impacts of Covid would likely drive up prices.
Charges from suppliers are also expected to increase, leaving publicans with no choice but to pass the costs onto customers.
