Inflation Rate
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-21
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

On the same lines, I ask the Minister the extent to which his Department remains vigilant in relation to the actual causes of the inflation affecting a large range of consumer goods. In themselves they do not seem greatly worrying but put together they constitute a fairly sizable impact insofar as the purchaser, the consumer, is concerned and they gradually eat away into the confidence of the consumer. I ask whether, at this stage, measures continue to be taken to drill down into the actual reasons put forward in certain situations but in all situations where the inflation becomes a threat to the economy.
