asked the Taoiseach the consumer price index for the first quarter of this year and for the corresponding quarter of 1974.
With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 4 and 5 together. At mid-February, 1975 the consumer price index number, to base November, 1968 as 100, was 203.3 as compared with 164.2 for mid-February, 1974. In the case of the food group constituent of the same index the corresponding figures were 209.1 and 170.4 respectively.
