asked the Taoiseach the price changes in each item on the cost of living index for 1977 and at the latest available date.

I propose to circulate in the Official Report a statement showing the percentage price changes in each item distinguished in the consumer price index between mid-February 1977 and mid-May 1982.

Following is the statement:

Percentage Price Changes between Mid-February 1977 and Mid-May 1982.
