Context
Irish CPI stood at 126.2 in 2025 December (base Dec 2016=100), up 2.77% year-on-year. Ireland experienced a sharp inflation spike in 2022-2023 driven by energy prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has since moderated but left price levels permanently elevated relative to pre-2022 trend.
