Irish Pubs Continue To Decline
Newly published research has revealed that alcohol sales in pubs has continued to decline while increases in related taxes have thrown the wider industry into further “chaos”.
The report, compiled by the Drinks Industry Group of Ireland (Digi), warns that the current trend of job losses – some 6,000 in Irish pubs since 2009 – will continue.
The annual ‘Drinks Market Performance Report’ shows that the volume of pub sales has dropped by nearly one third in the past five years while consumption levels have fallen by 0.5 per cent last year and by almost 20 per cent since 2001.
