An Ennis-based financial consultant has hailed the decision to further decrease the rate of inflation to end the year, claiming energy prices have now levelled out.

Inflation has been further curtailed in 2024, now sitting at 2.9%, largely in part to the stabilising of costs of oil and gas nationwide.

Tommy Corbett from Carey Corbett Financial Solutions claims that 2025 is likely to see that number dip below 2% and continue to decrease in the following years.

He says inflation is largely under control, but that it is dependent on the Eurozone and the actions of European Central Bank.
