New data has been collected on behalf of the four local councils.
Concerns have been raised that a recession in Dublin's 'an increasingly realistic possibility'.
That's according to new data collected on behalf of the four local councils in the capital.
Spending in the capital fell by 8.1% in the first three months of this year, compared to the previous quarter, according to data collected from MasterCard.
Cost of living pressures are likely to have played a part, as spending in department and clothing stores dropped by more than a quarter in the same period.
There are also warnings from S&P Global that the war in Ukraine could limit business growth in the capital in the second quarter of the year.
Unemployment was up very slightly to 5.8%, but analysis from Grant Thornton said there was a 'softening' of new job listings.
It adds that a recession is not being called yet, there is a 'growing number of clues' to suggest it is now increasingly likely.
