Rip-Off Republic

So just bear with me on that.

So when I was doing Rip Off Republic over 20 years ago, At the time, there was an attempt to bring in cafe bars in Ireland, and it was being heavily resisted by the Vintners lobby, which was very strong at the time.

And they were arguing that you can't give out more licenses because more licenses are going to increase alcoholism amongst the population.

So we had a very short time to go before we were filming in the Helix Centre in Dublin.
