The tricky part here is that energy is an input to basically everything. It's a major (through fertiliser) input to food, and then all of transport and stocking of said food which tends to be how energy changes influence downstream inflation. So I think you'd probably need a deeper analysis to tease out these issues.



That's only in-region. Ireland imports all sorts of stuff so just look at imports if you want to exclude the energy impact on everything else.
