70% of retailers re-open for sales

Retail outlets across the country have re-opened their doors for the post-Christmas Day sales.

For the first time, 70% of retailers in urban areas will open for business on St Stephen's Day.

Retailers reported long queues outside their premises this morning. 

Clothing retailer Next opened its doors at 6am.

It follows a busy pre-Christmas shopping period - retailers reported a 2% to 2.5% increase in sales last weekend compared with the same period last year.

Mild weather, improved consumer confidence, and an increase in shoppers travelling from Northern Ireland, as well as the fact that Christmas Day fell on a Tuesday, are credited with causing the boost.

People are also travelling to St Stephen's Day sporting and cultural events.

A Sunday service is operating on Dublin Bus routes, with the Luas running until 11.30pm.

There are no rail or DART services in operation today.

Bus Éireann's Expressway services, and commuter services including in the greater Dublin, Cork and Limerick areas are operating on a reduced timetable.
