In a way, my major gripe would be the quality - if this €16.50 fish and chips for example was superb, I wouldn't mind paying it. It's when the food/service at inflated prices is only average - or worse, poor, that it becomes a transparent backfiring joke.

Agree totally with this...I think the quality provided in many places is disgraceful. I was in Westport during the summer and had lunch in a pub in the town. Chips & a burger that was described as "dressed to the hilt" which was "dressed" with a limp lettuce leaf and soggy slice of tomato was €15.00.
Its poor quality that is the problem.

there may have been cheaper places but my experiences of walking around and looking at prices was that they were all around this price and i was there for 3 nights.

Ashes is not really a pub so I wouldnt be surprised with that - you mentioned pub grub in your original post. Pub grub is much cheaper than those prices e.g. Murphy's, Lord Bakers does a 3 course early bird for E26, Geaney's. I rarely actually eat in restaurants when down there TBH but E30 for mains in a pub I have not seen
