Sir, – Recently at Ireland West Airport I went to the snack bar counter with a cup of coffee and a chicken sandwich. The cost, €6.20. The good lady assistant informed me that if I was to take a bag of crisps with my order the charge would be €5.50. Balancing a healthy lunch with thrifty economics I promptly selected my crisps, handed over €5.50 and returned the bag to its place on the shelf. We were all happy. – Yours, etc,
DONAL CARLIN,
Ballyconnell, Co Cavan.
