Eurostat: Irish inflation jumped to 6.9% in March amid Ukraine fallout             

Russian attack and its effects on everything from energy to grain will disrupt economies further, the ESRI has warned

Irish inflation jumped to 6.9% in March from 5.7% in February, as the Ukraine war continued to drive up the prices of energy and food, according to early estimates by the EU statistics office.

The latest readings from Eurostat are based on harmonised measures that help make comparing inflation rates across EU states easier.
