Ireland's numbers are clearly growing at a rate that probably exceeded Denmark by 2014 or 2015.
But I don't buy Ireland's ( the poster not the country) arguments. It would definitely matter to many retail outlets that tourist numbers are high -- less so an expensive electronics store. Do many tourists but iPhones or macs on holiday? Apples prices are not cheap in Ireland. They might sell some accessories. The Genius Bar is a cost.
Two years does not make a sustainable trend. It may well have gone above Denmark's, but I wouldn't say a single metric with three data points is clear at all.
In any case, that wasn't really the point.
Sorry but that's funny. You made Ireland's numbers look good!

They missed out on the perfect building which was taken over by H&M just over a year ago. Nice size without being too large, much better location, nicer building with entrances on both sides of the block. This has historical pedigree, I guess. It's just out of the way in terms of Grafton Street which is the main shopping street in Dublin with more people with money walking around and a very busy pedestrian street. The north side has shopping streets too, so it's not like Cleary's is in the middle of nowhere. We'll honestly take any kind of store at this stage, even a fruit stand; anything!
Nice building but the other is a better retail building as it has street level glass windows and we know Apple loves glass.
