			The Irish Bitcoin scene consists of a small number of bricks and morter retail stores, online merchants, and a small but growing community of enthusiasts.

			==Bitcoin ATMs==
			There has been some controversy in relation to the installation of Bitcoin ATM's in Ireland, which has been covered in the broadsheet media. A pub in Dublin, formerly known as the Baggot Inn accepted bitcoin through a [[bitpay]] system for food and drink and shortly after hosted a bitcoin ATM <ref name="Baggot Inn accepts bitcoin">{{cite web \|url=http://www.dailyedge.ie/baggot-inn-bitcoin-1346145-Mar2014/ \|title=This Dublin pub now accepts Bitcoin as payment for a pint \|publisher=DailyEdge.ie}}</ref> in March 2014. However, the pub changed ownership, and the ATM was removed in October 2014 <ref name="The Baggot Inn pulls the plug on bitcoin atm">{{cite web \|url=http://bitcoinirl.ie/news/irish-pub-the-baggot-inn-pulls-the-plug-on-bitcoin-atm/ \|title=Irish Pub The Baggot Inn pulls the plug on Bitcoin ATM \|publisher=Irish Bitcoin Foundation}}</ref>

This was moved to the GSM Solutions shop in Abbey Street, and retired soon after from active service, although has been used in demonstrations. It was replaced by a Skyhook ATM which is currently in place.
