Yes, but tipping in Ireland is entirely up to you. There is no hard and fast rule about how much to leave, though 10-15% of the bill is considered a normal tip. If you received exceptional service, you may want to leave a larger tip, but this is by no means expected. In general, it’s best to simply use your own judgement and leave a tip that you feel is appropriate. Bear in mind that most hospitality workers in Ireland rely heavily on tips to make a living wage, so even a small gesture can make a big difference.

It’s Up To You. If you’re planning on taking a taxi while in Ireland, there’s no need to worry about tipping. Tipping is not mandatory, and your taxi driver will not be expecting a gratuity.
