I'm really surprised that Ireland and Germany are so close here; I don't see cash used that commonly in Ireland (though pretty much everywhere would still _take_ it, which I understand is not the case everywhere in Europe), but when I visit Germany, places which only take cash are still pretty common. I'd be a _little_ sceptical about how good their data is. In the past year, the only times I've used cash are when travelling to Spain and Germany, and for entrance into one particular club night in Dublin who insist on it.
