In this article, we interview a 26-year-old recruiter from Ireland who shares her spending habits during the Christmas season. She talks about her budget, gift preferences, and how she manages her finances without a credit card or overdraft.
The average Irish family spends €2,700 over the festive season, but what about the savers and splurgers? In the new part of our series, we speak to a 26-year-old recruiter who earns €42,000 a year “I wish I was better at pre-buying Christmas gifts, but I really love the run-up to Christmas and doing one or two days of pure gift shopping. I spend the most on my mum (about €100).

As news filtered through that France versus Gibraltar had finished 14-0 in Nice, the Amsterdam crowd wondered how their heroes failed to humiliate such a limited Republic of Ireland outfit. Xavi Simons and Cody Gakpo, the young Dutch attackers, also struggled to solve this puzzle, staring to the heavens after each fingertip save by Gavin Bazunu. Only Weghorst, the former Manchester United striker, delivered by spinning away from Nathan Collins to punish Ireland’s dangerously high press. Thereafter, Bazunu refused to be beaten. The 21-year-old was the exceptional Irish performer on another night when Stephen Kenny’s charges struggled to play possession football. “What’s the alternative, defend deep and try and see it out?” Kenny asked. “They will break you down anyway.” Victory sends the Netherlands to the Euros in Germany next year, securing second place in Group B behind the flawless French
