Price of the average full Irish breakfast is on the up
Rashers, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs were compared to 2023 prices
The price of the average full Irish breakfast has risen by over 3% in the last year, along with most food items.
According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the cost of the much-loved fry has risen by 3.1% in the past year.
The cost of these items averaged €28.03 in January, compared to that of €27.20 last year, per kilogram.
Adding in the cost of milk, bread, butter, tea and the price rises to €38.79.
The cost of those foods, determined by the weight (kg), means these CSO figures represent a family-sized purchase rather than a singular portion.
