Hospital car parks: Speaking of rip-off Ireland, someone needs to do a piece on the price of the multi-storey car parks - the only parking option, I might add - in St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin.

It's shocking, especially for those patients who need to attend there regularly for chemo or dialysis. Joseph

Prices north and south

I was on holiday in north Donegal last week and, by coincidence, picked up two Argos catalogues, one from Derry and one from Letterkenny. To my horror I noticed that, even at an exchange rate of €1=£0.75, the same products were approx 30 per cent more expensive south of the border. There is no more than 30 minutes' drive between the two stores! John
