On this page I'll collect links to mostly independent Irish shops with services online. I don't shop at Amazon and never will. Jeff whatever-his-name-is doesn't need my money. Small businesses owners in this country do. I'm not Irish but I love Ireland and have chosen to live here for a reason. During these tough times - and beyond - I choose to buy Irish whenever possible, and as locally as possible.
We all need to buy less stuff, but when you need to buy something, please buy from a small independent business owner. Please help me support Irish businesses!
