This is my first trip to Ireland. I've heard from Irish friends that 'tipping' (gratuity) is not expected. But I don't feel comfortable with that notion. Any advice on tipping for B&B stays, restaurants, pubs, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This brings back memories from our first trip to Ireland. We were actually stopped when leaving a pub because we "accidentally" left our change on the table as a tip. The woman who waited on us just knew that it had to be a mistake. :)

Stephanie, Tips are definitely not required for B&B's.
