Hi.
I haven’t shopped up North as a) our economy needs us and b) it’s too far away for me anyway. Even if I did live close to the border though I have changed my shopping habbits since the recession. I now stick to my local Irish supermarket and support Irish food producers at farmer’s markets etc. as much as possible. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the messge that OUR ECONOMY NEEDS US. Thank you
The UK rise in the VAT rate will allow the Irish government to raise the VAT rate here again in December, at which point the cross-border shop will be back on (if it ever went away…)
