One in four still have unspent Christmas vouchers

People expect to spend an average of €1,163 this Christmas.

A new survey of Irish shoppers has found that one in four has not used their gift vouchers from last Christmas.

The survey, by Ireland's consumer protection watchdog, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), found that people expect to spend an average of €1,163 this Christmas, broadly in line with 2024, with one in five planning to borrow to fund their spending.
