Food market in Cork City Hall aims to boost local produce

A survey of more than 400 people found 75% believe locally made Irish food and drink products are better for their health and wellbeing.

Conducted by Local Enterprise Offices in the south-west, the survey was compiled to mark the launch of the Cork and Kerry Food Market event in Cork City Hall early next month.

It also shows 97% of people are happy to support food businesses which contribute to the local economy and create employment.
