Drop In Retail Sales

Despite a significant increase in car sales as new VRT rules came in to effect in July, retail sales across County Clare continued to slump, hitting a ten-year low, the latest data from the CSO shows.

The volume of local retail sales in July fell by 3.5pc compared to the same month last year.

There was a monthly increase of 2.3pc but this was mainly down to a surge in car sales.
