  • Reactions from around Cork & Galway to the 1980 budget, including the 300% increase in duty on soft drinks and 5% on golf balls.
    The people of Cork woke up this morning to the headlines of yesterday’s budget. This included stiff increases in the cost of excise duty on cars. The price of alcohol and soft drinks, which were already at surprising levels for tourists, according to hoteliers, has also gone up.

    Glass coke bottles! If we'd stuck with glass bottles, we wouldn't have plastic in our seas & filling landfills.
    Remember the cream at the top of the glass milk bottle?
    Those were the days

      Kinda mad thinking there were electric trucks everywhere back then delivering milk door to door. Feels like it ought to be something in the future, but it's long in the past now.

    I guess someone had to pay for Charley Haugheys extravagent chartvet shirts and who better than the taxpaying mugs of Ireland! Yes indeed I have grim memories of those dark days when they screwed ordinary workers like myself into paying nearly 60 pence in the pound income tax on a modest wage , I couldent afford a car until I was 24 years of age in 1986 and could only afford 3rd party insurance on a fiesta for 400 quid! ah yes the good old days!

      So many Irish in the UK and Scotland then. My neighbour in Glasgow Mike was from Donegal but worked as a tunneler all over the UK. Bloody hard work but he made a fortune compared to what he would have earned in the Republic. Just about every construction project in the UK post war was built by the Irish.
