Can the British pound be used in Dublin?

The British pound (GBP) is not legal tender in the Republic of Ireland. The currency used in the Republic of Ireland is the euro (EUR). Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, uses the pound sterling as its currency. However, some businesses in Dublin may accept the British pound as payment, although this is not always the case and the exchange rate may not be favorable. It is always best to check with the individual business to see if they accept British pounds before making a purchase.
