If you are ordering your Christmas shopping on-line I would suggest that you start shopping in October as some Irish online shops take up to 28 days to deliver. We noticed that talking to clients last year that many had done 100% of their shopping online. These were not Internet nerds, just normal rural Irish families.
This year looks to be a bumber year to online shops in ireland. If you are looks for a directory or shops that sell on-line have a look at the following link, also sheck out some of our own clients
