asked the Taoiseach if he will state the weight allocated to each item comprising the consumer price index.
Written Answers. - Consumer Price Index Items.
The "value weight" allocated to each item in the consumer price index is given in column (2) of a table appended to the article on pages 222-228 of the December, 1953, issue of the Irish Trade Journal and Statistical Bulletin, which gave details of the calculation of the index. A copy of the journal is available in the Oireachtas Library.
