Tipping & Gratuities in Ireland First and foremost, tipping is NOT compulsory in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland. A tip/gratuity should only be given when you are happy with the service received. If you are happy with the service that you received, this is a guide to an appropriate tip/gratuity:

v Spa Treatments – 10% of final bill v Taxi drivers – optional but if you are happy with their service you may opt to round up your fare to the nearest even amount. v Caddies - €/£10 plus provided that you are happy with their service v Private Tour Driver – if you are happy with the service of your driver €/£10 per person per day is a rough estimate of what is regarded as a reasonable tip/gratuity v Tour Operator – no tipping required. Recommending Fairways and FunDays to family and friends is a perfect alternative!

v Hotel Porters - €/£1-2 per bag for bringing luggage to your room. v Hotel housekeeping – optional but you can leave €/£1-2 per day for exceptional service. v Hotel concierge - €/£1 plus for a concierge who offers great advice and service. v Restaurants where a service charge is not included on your bill – 10-15% of bill. You can also round up to the nearest even amount. v Fast Food Restaurant – no tipping required v Bartenders – no tipping required v Hair Salon – 10% of final bill
