A well-known Dublin butcher chain will be reverting to back to 1970s prices for a grand celebration of their 50 years in the business.
Kerrigan's Craft Butchers will be embracing the old imperial system from October 27 to October 29 for the occasion. Their shops in Donaghmede, Malahide, Baldoyle, Northern Cross, and Stepaside will be selling meat at 1973 prices.
Sirloin steak, usually around €20 per kilo, will be priced at €8.37 per kilo. Sausages will be priced at €2.79 per kilo, whilst pork chops on the bone will be priced at €6.97 per kilo. Chicken fillets will be available for just €1.00 each and mince will be priced at €2.79 per kilo.

The butchers will also offer shoppers a trip down memory lane with forgotten cuts of meat, popular in the 1970s, such as offal, collar bacon and rolled ribs of beef. Managing Director Shane Kerrigan said: “Our customers are the heart of our business so it’s important we could do something to give back to the community here. We’re all incredibly proud of the journey we’ve undertaken together and the legacy we continue to protect.”
Shane added: "My father started this business in 1973 when he opened our first store in Donaghmede. We now have five physical stores and a thriving online business that fulfils hundreds of orders week-on-week across the island of Ireland and the UK. We’ve listened to our customers to understand what changes we’ve needed to make to meet their needs and demands."
