Na sektor ten składają się w dużej mierze małe, lokalne przedsiębiorstwa. Spośród 44 tys. firm zajmujących się sprzedażą hurtową i detaliczną w Irlandii 86% zatrudnia poniżej 10 osób i ma irlandzkich właścicieli. Malejący popyt wewnętrzny i wydatki konsumentów irlandzkich (od 2008 r.) są dla sektora detalicznego rosnącym wyzwaniem, co przekłada się na spadające zatrudnienie (o 47 tys. osób z 314 tys. w 2008 r.). Ogólna wartość sprzedaży, od szczytu w 2007 r., spadła o 18%, szczególnie takich artykułów, jak meble i oświetlenie (-55%), samochody (-50%), sprzęt i art. elektryczne (-38%). Nawet tradycyjnie stabilna wartość sprzedaży art. spożywczych zmalała o 6%. W 2012 r. odnotowano dalszy, acz niewielki spadek sprzedaży na poziomie -2%. Po najgorszym okresie kryzysu nastroje konsumentów wydawały się już polepszać i w sierpniu 2012 r. wskaźnik KBC/ESRI Consumer Sentiment Index osiągnął najwyższą od pięciu lat wartość, jednak od tego czasu znów skłonność do konsumpcji nieznacznie pogorszyła się. Badanie przeprowadzone przez firmę FMI dla ShelfLife w sierpniu 2012 r. wskazało, iż niemal połowa konsumentów kieruje się ceną przy wyborze produktu, a 71% kupuje irlandzkie produkty chcąc wspierać zatrudnienie w Irlandii.
