Wow at the crap tarrifs.

Bloomin' heck

Do you think someone heard a few Englishman, Scottishman and Irishman jokes that morning they decided on those tarrifs

Someone obviously thinks the Irish are all like the joke stereotype

Is this Apple or O2 Irelands fault?

Probably 02 Ireland.

After all, 02-UK upped the tariffs off their own backs, perhaps O2 Ireland will (in time).
