Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed that the Government does not plan to bring down the price of a pint by cutting excise duty.
Heineken Ireland confirmed that a price increase on all of its draught products will be introduced to "enable us to more closely reflect the cost of producing and supplying our products."
It will affect a number of different drinks in Irish pubs, sending the prices of pints upwards in the process, including Heineken, Birra Moretti, Orchard Thieves, Coors, Fosters, Beamish and Murphys.
