Experts predict close to €5 billion will be spent in Ireland by consumers over the Christmas period




It’s Christmas Eve, the last day to get those small bits and pieces that are left on the list even though there has been a pandemic this year, some things will never change.

Homelessness might be at an all-time high and the health system is just a tad overloaded, but that’s not stopping the public from spending almost €5bn this Christmas.

On average, Irish households will spend €2,800 during the month of December.

The Christmas period is key for most retailers, with many posting as much as 30% of their yearly trade in the space of a couple of weeks.
