currency

Having booked flights and accommodation (especially accommodation), it will have become apparent that Dublin is particularly demanding on the cash reserves.

As a rough guide, currency conversion is:

1 pound sterling =
1.5 euro
2 US dollars

I always find figures like this pretty arbitrary, unless you can make a like-for-like comparison. So today's NI price for universal items:

500ml bottle Coke = 92p
Starbucks black coffee = £ 1.35
Big Mac (just the sandwich, not the meal) = £2.19
