What is the standard tipping guidelines for Ireland ?
A- There is no tipping norms for Ireland and people generally tip based on their perception of service quality and value received. Here are some guidelines. Meals – Usually 10 – 15% depending on the quality of the food and service received. 20 % for exceptionally good and no tip for exceptionally bad is also acceptable in Ireland. Drinks – It is not normal to tip bar staff. However if the service was exceptional a small tip would be appreciated. Driver – Driver Guides tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on the quality of the service you receive. Again it is not obligatory but is appreciated. Tipping would be normal if driver worked longer hours, helped with reservations, genealogy etc. Hotel Staff – Normally a small tip for porters, chambermaids is appreciated but again depends on quality of service.
