The price of our fizzy drinks could be set to rise.

A report commissioned by the Health Minister is said to recommend a 10 percent hike in excise duty on minerals- pushing prices up by 20 cent a bottle.

According to the Irish Independent, the document will be submitted to the obesity committee of the Department of Health today – which will then have to decide whether to recommend the move.
