Croke Park Drink Prices Spark Outrage: €9.50 for a Small Can Fuels Inflation Debate

Dublin, Ireland – A recent social media video has sparked debate over the rising cost of refreshments at major venues, with one user highlighting the price of a popular alcoholic beverage at Croke Park. The video, shared by user Dave Duke, shows a digital menu board advertising a 250ml can of Smirnoff Ice for €9.50. In the video, Duke expresses his dismay, stating, "Almost a tenner for a can... that's 250ml. You're talking nearly 40 euro per litre of Smirnoff Ice." He characterized the pricing as "taking the solid piss" and suggested it contributes to young people's reduced attendance at social events, remarking, "No, they just can't f***ing afford almost 10 euro for a can." The video quickly gained traction, drawing attention to the broader issue of inflation and event pricing in Ireland.
