DUBLIN, July ‌28 (Reuters) - ​Irish ​consumer sentiment fell slightly in July on ‌concerns about the cost of ⁠living, a survey showed on ‌Tuesday.

The Credit Union ‌Consumer Sentiment Survey slipped to 61.6 in July from ​62.2 in June. That is well below ⁠the long-term survey average of 83.2, but ​above a 40-month low of 53.3 hit in ​April following a ‌sharp rise in fuel costs as a ⁠result of the Middle East conflict.

Subindices measuring current conditions, ⁠consumer expectations and the economic outlook ​all fell slightly, the survey showed.

"Concerns about the cost of ‌living continue to outweigh all other economic issues," ‌said Irish League ⁠of Credit Unions ‌CEO David ​Malone.
