Bloomsday Inflation

From the Irish Times daily update (may require subs.) report on ReJoyce 2004, two signs of inflation -- in prices and weather:

...especially with a breakfast roll and a pint of Guinness costing 12 euro [about $14]...the weather on this day in 1904 was cool and breezy with a temperature of about 16 degrees, nothing as pleasant as the sunny 24 degrees predicted for today...

It's difficult not to wonder how the modern Ireland and that of Bloomsday would compare to each other; the Shamrockshire Eagle doubtless reflects a widespread opinion that it's not a flattering comparison. That mention of euro prices above has us visualising a present-day Dubliner, transported back in time to 1904 to Davy Byrne's and asking the barman the same way they yell at the Warrington Ikea, "Do ya take euros?"
