Derval O'Rourke: Shop local and support small Irish businesses

— art, juice, sports bras, fashion and hair brushes are among the fab things on offer from local businesses

Covid 19 has made us realize many important things. We have come to value our families, our friends and our communities. We see the benefit of working together in collaboration with our neighbours, our clubs and local charities. This year I’ve been making a conscious effort to shop Irish.

This week I’ll be chatting about shopping locally with some of my top picks for Christmas gifts and I will be sharing my tomato and aubergine bake recipe.
