    That's good news for the people who get jobs there. Hopefully it won't cause job loses in the other chemist in the Centre.

    That said, I prefer to support local businesses. I will still go to my local chemist. Don't get me wrong, I have bought stuff in the likes of Boots, Argos and Currys before but I don't like doing it. Sometimes, these outlets have products you can't get elsewhere or they have offers that are good value but I still prefer to go to Irish owned shops.


    Of course, there's nothing to say that when I spend my hard earned money in a locally owned shop, that the owner isn't spending the profits abroad. Who knows?

    There are plenty of foreign owned companies who make concerted effort to use Irish products and/or who sponsor local events. In particular, McDonald's and Aldi are good at this.


    End of off-topic patriotic semi- rant.
