Comments on: Consumers Association Chief Executive advocates buying British, not Irish http://www.valueireland.com/2010/03/consumers-association-chief-executive-advocates-buying-british-not-irish/ Better Purchasing Decisions Through Better Information Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:17:57 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Alex http://www.valueireland.com/2010/03/consumers-association-chief-executive-advocates-buying-british-not-irish/comment-page-1/#comment-4310 Alex Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:39:19 +0000 http://www.valueireland.com/?p=4415#comment-4310 I find it distateful to see any Irish organisation supporting the sale of British goods. Ireland needs jobs and supporting something that is not produced in Ireland is not supporting Irish jobs. If we want to be compared with the UK then we will all have to accept lower wages, rents, rates, service charges, poorer health care services, poorer policing, fewer teachers and many other public services would have to be cut or eliminated. Unemployment benefits would have to be reduced to a maximum of €90 per week. Is this the type of country we want for our children and our childrens children. If paying a little bit more for quality Irish produce is what it takes to provide jobs in Ireland then count me in. If not then I will move to another country because this country is not going in a direction I would like to witness.
