The CSO have a calculator here, you'll need to convert £ to € yourself first though.

The price of a big mac is a good comparator.

According to that, a packet of Tayto should only be 52 cent! (€O.52) 😮

Inflation impacts products differently. Housing for example inflation is about 4400% vs 1974.
So if the €15k was invested in housing, you'd be looking a a value of €660k today.
