Dunnes is about the cheapest Irish Retailer, there is no Aldi/Lidl equivolent, business model is totally different.

Exactly wat i ment,thanks.......was thinking there was a bit ofa gap in the market for this if promoted right

What difference does it make if the company is Irish or not.

Aldi do just what you want. They pay tax on their profits. They have local employees, local produce.

But how do you support your own? There is no net extra money to the state. Buy Irish makes sense as the money goes to Irish producers and not out of hte state but shopping Irish makes no sense.

the profits are a lot more likely to be spent in ireland again if the company is irish,not being taken out of the country.......

Not really. Rich owners are just as likely to spend their money on international investments and expansion. Take Dunnes for example.

sur if dunnes do it they all shall:rolleyes:.........id rather support an Irish company wit the owners living and working in Ireland than a non-irish one

I suggest your local corner shop, with the owner living above it,if thats the case.

lol lol lol

Sorry just had to....

is there really such a thing as irish goods from an irish company at a low cost?

Mike 1972

In the age of globalisation the notion of a large company being "Irish"/"German"/"British"/"American"/etc is hopelessly outdated anyway.

How does one define the nationality of a company ?
1) By the nationality of its shareholders ?
May be from lots of different countries. Some may hold dual/multiple nationality. Some "shareholders" may in fact be other companies or pension/investment funds
2) By the principal country of residence of its shareholders ? (not necessairly the same as #1 above)
Again may be from lots of different countries. Some may live in more than one country during the year
3) Where its registered head office is located ?
Maybe a small "brass plate" office or even a box number in some obscure tax haven. No actual operations of any significance need be taking place there
4) Stock exchange on which its quoted ?
Maybe traded on two (or more) stock exchanges in different countries.
5) Where it pays taxes ?
Maybe more than one country. Transfer pricing and other accounting scams (legal or otherwise). may result in taxes being paid in the most convenient juristiction rather than one where any significant activities take place

Buy IN ireland is more important than Buy Irish - in my opinion.

Personally i buy a good bit online which directly hurts Irish retailers, but at the same time they have to meet the challenge and make it better for me to buy from them. - Plenty are meeting it.
