€130 million to spent over the black friday weekend

It's expected €130 million will be spent over this Black Friday weekend.

Most retailers online and on the high street are taking part - with discounts of up to 50% on some items. The tradition started in the US marking the start of the Christmas shopping season and has become popular here in Ireland in recent years. But some retailers say it's not their favourite day of the year, due to the increase in workload.
