Tánaiste urges public to shop local this Christmas as most retailers remain shut for Black Friday weekend 

You can still shop local, whether the shops are physically open or selling products through click and collect services the Tánaiste said

Irish consumers are being urged to support Irish businesses and jobs by making an effort to support local retailers ahead of their anticipated reopening next week. 

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar and Ministers of State Damien English and Robert Troy today launched the Government's campaign, in partnership with Enterprise Ireland and the local authorities, to remind people to 'Look for Local' and build on the recent groundswell of support shown to local businesses when looking to buy goods or services.
