The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has revealed Irelands tipping habits in a newly released survey. The findings showed that 2 in 3 people believe that tipping is becoming less voluntary, often prompted to tip on the machine when paying, with 3 in 4 saying that would like to see businesses make it easier to opt out of tipping.  

Ciara Doherty was joined by business owners Gina Murphy, owner of Hugos restaurant and Sam Donnelly, co-owner of Sam’s Barbers and board member of Dublin Town to discuss the merits of tipping.
