The cost of living rose 2.7% in the last year, with energy and housing costs fuelling the hike, according to figures from the Central Statistics Office.

However, the annual rate of inflation has remained at the same level for the three months to the end of July.

The most notable increases in the year were housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels up by 10.3%, transport up by 3.5%, and health 3.4%.

Miscellaneous goods and services, such as hairdressing, personal goods, childcare, insurance, weddings and funerals, increased by 7.2%.
