Join Onlinetradesmen to access a growing market of homeowners seeking skilled trade professionals. Consumer confidence has reached its highest level in two-and-a-half years, according to the latest Credit Union consumer sentiment index Despite still being below the long-term average, the sentiment index has risen to 74.9 in July from 70.5 in June and 65.7 in May. This uptick in consumer confidence signals a positive trend for the home repair, maintenance, and improvement sector. While Irish consumers remain cautious, there's a shift towards focusing less on economic risks. Improved real incomes, easing inflation, and better wage growth have contributed to this rise in confidence.
