Madam, - Recently I visited a coffee shop in Dundrum shopping centre and ordered: 1 small cappuccino (€2.75), 2 small (200 mls) blackcurrant juices (€2.25 each) and one small slice of chocolate biscuit cake (€2.55). Total: €9.80. Please let your readers know that one does not have to visit Grafton Street to pay Grafton Street prices! - Yours, etc.,
