Cafés/Bars in Ireland

Cafés/bars in Ireland continued to struggle to return to 2019 pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Indeed, in 2024, only transactions exceeded the 2019 level, and then only slightly, with the number of outlets and foodservice current value sales falling short. The recovery of cafés/bars was slowed by a combination of economic factors. For example, the increases in the national minimum wage from EUR11.30 in 2023 to EUR12.70 in 2024 and a further scheduled rise to EUR13.
