Annual inflation in Ireland jumped to 7.8 percent in May of 2022, the highest since September of 1984 and accelerating from a 7 percent rise in the previous month. The main contributions to higher inflation were from housing and utilities (20.9 percent vs 17.1 percent in April) and transportation (16.5 percent vs 18.9 percent), as surging oil prices lifted costs for home heating and vehicle fuels. The CPI also accelerated for restaurant and hotels (5.9 percent vs 5.1 percent), and food and non-alcoholic beverages (4.4 percent vs 3.5 percent). On a monthly basis, consumer prices were up by 0.9 percent, rising by the same magnitude from the previous month. source: Central Statistics Office Ireland
