Inflation figures released by the Central Statistics Office yesterday reveal that Irish inflation hit a record high. Prices on average, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), were 5.5 percent higher in December compared with December 2020. This is the largest annual change in prices since June 2001 when annual inflation was 5.3 percent. This increase in Irish inflation is mirrored in the euro area. The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) – the European Central Bank’s (ECB) preferred measurement of inflation - stood at 5 percent in December 2021 according to Eurostat’s flash estimate, which was the highest level recorded since the euro was introduced in 1999.

However, there are still many establishments that have been short on the maintenance and refurbishment front for a number of years. As prices rise again customers are not always seeing an equal increase in standards. While hotels undoubtedly benefit from investment, as salubrious as these premises may become, they will ultimately fail to impress unless the standards of staff, service, and food matches and complements the surroundings.
