Managing Retail Ireland

About Us

Retail Ireland supports and protects the social and economic importance of the Irish retail industry. Through impactful communications, media campaigns, and advocacy strategies, we raise the profile of retail and promote its crucial role in Ireland’s employment, investment, and prosperity.

Our Mission

We focus on articulating, protecting, and advancing the retail sector's position by:

• Influencing proposals that affect our members' interests.
• Engaging with Government and key decision-makers to ensure the retail industry's needs are properly considered in new laws and regulations.

As Ireland’s domestic economy recovers after years of recession, our priorities include protecting existing jobs, creating new employment opportunities, and boosting State revenues through retail sales.

Our Industry Priorities

Growth

• Safeguard cost competitiveness to support retail investment.
• Advocate for sustainable, innovative growth strategies that bolster consumer confidence.

Careers

• Encourage investment in learning and development.
• Promote new retail career pathways and initiatives to enhance staff welfare.

Sustainability

• Advocate for investment in decarbonisation, the circular economy, and sustainable supply chains.

Communities

• Promote coordinated public and private efforts to make towns and cities more attractive destinations.
• Advocate for additional resources to address crime and anti-social behaviour.

Together, we are shaping a stronger, more resilient retail sector for the future of Ireland.
