While hikes are set to be regulated, one food industry insider warned the paper there are “50 different charges in different locations, so one county might have a higher charge than another.”
Addressing the rumours, the Restaurants Association of Ireland spokesman Adrian Cummins said:
“Some restaurants will charge for tap water if commercial water charges increase. I would say over 50% will implement the practice.
“Some charge €1 for a large jug or bottle of [tap] water, which is unlimited during the course of the meal.”
It is thought the charges will be used to help restaurants with the rising costs of business operations, although we somehow doubt the move will be well received.
We predict some serious stand-offs once it comes to paying the bill.
