Currency Guide Ireland

Currency

The Euro is now the official currency of Ireland. Ireland's prior currency, the Punt or Pound, has now been phased out as legal tender and is no longer accepted.

Credit Cards

Credit cards are widely accepted, though many B&Bs and some smaller remote petrol stations will only take cash. There's quite a good spread of ATMs but it's always a good idea to carry a sensible amount of cash around with you.

Traveller's Cheques

Euro travellers cheques are widely accepted everywhere and can be cashed in all major hotels and banks on production of a passport. It's advisable to take Euro travellers Cheques and Euro notes.

Currency Regulations

The import and export of all currencies is free.
