Irish inflation hit 2.7% in September, the highest since January 2024. This rise follows a low base in September 2024, with a 0.2% price drop from August to September 2025.
DUBLIN (Reuters) -Irish consumer prices rose 2.7% year-on-year in September from 1.9% a month earlier, a flash estimate of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices showed on Tuesday.
That is the highest rate recorded by the index since January 2024, but the Central Statistics Office's Anthony Dawson noted in a statement that the growth was from a low base in September 2024.
Prices fell 0.2% between August and September 2025, the data showed.
