We have recently read and heard reports of the increasing market share being gained by the two discount supermarkets, Aldi and Lidl.

We have read about how they encourage new Irish suppliers and help them to develop new brands, a move which deserves the highest of praise.

There have been other articles in the past year about a successful Dublin publican who favours having Irish people as his frontline staff behind the bar.
