Prison overcrowding leads to record tuck shop revenues
The combined revenues at the 11 tuck shops of €12.47m in 2025 are a 20.6% increase on the combined revenues of €10.34m for 2024.
The surge in revenues comes against the background of a larger customer base for the tuck shops due to continuing over-crowding at Irish prisons.
In case anyone was confused, like me, as to what a tuck shop is
When did we stop calling them commissaries?
When did we start?
Maybe this is just an Irish name?
Yeah, I noticed that after I made my comment but decided to leave it so someone could correct me.
Anglo name.
