Buy Irish 2022: 200-plus Irish SMEs

For Christmas 2022 we looked at 204 Irish businesses in the areas of toys, food, drinks, health, fitness, fashion, books and beauty

With an estimated 70pc of online shopping purchases made overseas, it is vital we support Irish SMEs.

According to Champion Green, every €1 spent in local retail can generate up to €2.50 in the economy.  €1 spent online, with an overseas retailer, is largely lost to the local economy.

In the month ahead of Christmas, consumers here will spend about €4.5bn in total.

In this series looked Irish food, drinks, fashion, beauty, sports and fitness, toys and health that can be bought online as well as offline for Christmas 2022.
