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

spread of ATMs but it's always a good idea
to carry a sensible amount of cash around
with you.

cheques
Euro
travelers cheques are widely accepted everywhere
and can be cashed in all major hotels and
banks on production of a passport. It is
advisable to take Euro travelers Cheques
and Euro notes.
Currency
restrictions
The
import and export of all currencies is free.
