I would sometimes tip taxi drivers if they have been helpful with bags etc., by rounding up the bill.
I will always tip good service in a restaurant.
Many restaurants add on a service charge and waiting staff in Ireland have to be paid at least the minimum wage, so they do not rely on the tips as much as in the US.
There is no need to tip bar staff, but if you feel one has been particularly friendly you could offer to 'buy him/her a drink'. He/she may not actually take a drink, but they will understand what you mean.
Nobody Irish calls the country 'Southern Ireland' - it's either Ireland or 'The Republic' and Northern Ireland would be 'Northern Ireland' or 'The North'. |

No, it is customary in some situations, for example tipping at a restaurant or cafe is considered being nice, because it goes to the staff. But it is certainly not required, and you should only tip for good service - not just as a matter of course.
The working wage in Ireland is good, wait staff do not need to rely on tips to live as they do in the States, for example. Tips are just a bonus.
Tipping taxi drivers etc is not customary, unless you can't be bothered waiting for them to give you your change, because taxis are an extraordinary rip off anyway. |

If the taximan is a nice person, why not tip him, he's not any different from someone working in a hotel or resturant, he's out there trying to make a living, and a tip will put a smile on his face and im sure he would be greatful too. |
