40% of Irish adults plan fewer visits to pub between now and Christmas
Last updated on
Four in ten Irish adults say they are planning fewer trips to the pub between now and Christmas.
A survey carried out across Ireland and the UK last month, found that 42% of people plan to visit hospitality venues far less often due to the cost of living crisis.
As a response, the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland have called for urgent and substantive energy supports for the pub trade in Budget 2023.
They are warning that while 21% of pubs here have closed since 2005, more will cease operations unless they receive financial backing from the government.
