People in Northern Ireland are facing a cost of living crisis as energy, food and fuel prices have all increased with inflation at its highest rate in 40 years.
Latest data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) shows that inflation hit 9.4% last month, its highest level since 1982.
Prior to the latest surge, the rate of inflation measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), had been steadily increasing since the beginning of 2021.
