Yes, you will need Euros in Ireland as it is the official currency. It's a good idea to have some cash on hand for small purchases and for places that do not accept credit cards. You can exchange currency at banks, currency exchange offices and some hotels, but it might be more convenient to withdraw cash from an ATM using your debit or credit card. Many places in Ireland also accept contactless payments through debit or credit card. It's a good idea to inform your bank of your travel plans so that they do not block your card while you are away.
Tipping has become more prevalent in restaurants in Ireland. The normal rate is around 10% but this will not be imposed and it is completely up to the customer how much they wish to leave. Tipping in bars is not customary. In the nicer restaurants or for large groups, a service charge may be included in your bill you can at your own discretion decide to leave a small tip.
May you have all the happiness and luck that life can hold— And at the end of all your rainbows may you find a pot of gold.

May you be poor in misfortunes and rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.
