Thank you for asking!

The IEP is being increasingly used in towns in County Monaghan. Some other parts are also embracing it in anticipation of Ireland leaving the Eurozone. IR£1.00 used to buy $1.60 - $2.00.

I am quite glad that Ireland got rid of the Punt. It was linked to the UK pound because the UK was our biggest trading partner. It did not hold a great value. In some small villages in Co. Monaghan( in anticipation of Ireland leaving the Eurozone) they started trade exchange with badger furs. (:P)

The Irish Punt is no longer legal tender in Ireland. It will not be legally accept by any bank. The main currency in the Republic of Ireland is the Euro. In Northern Ireland they use the British Pound Sterling, but I believe some store in the North will accept Euro too. Do check that out however and don't take my word for it.

I have not lived in Ireland in 3 months (I work and live in China now)... I am sure things have no changed much since I left. But one thing is for sure the Euro is the main currency is the Republic, and the old Irish Punt is no more.
