Buy Irish
It annoys me hearing about how we all have to pull together to save our economy. We did this in the eighties with the Guaranteed Irish/Buy Irish drives. Yet these same people who tell us we have to stick together are the ones who go shopping in Tesco, Aldi and Lidl. Nothing against these supermarkets - they provide Irish jobs.
