Even though we're all still practising social distancing and most of us are working from home, we still want to help support Irish food and drink producers.
We've decided to help our readers #ShopForIreland so we'll be posting every day to highlight producers around Ireland. Get in touch on our social channels with your suggestions on who we should write about.
Easter Paddy Box
To spread a bit of grá this Easter, the good people at The Paddy Box have waived the postal charge so that you can share some goodies with those you love who are living abroad. The Easter Paddy Box, priced at €49.95, includes Cadbury eggs, Créme Eggs, Barry's Tea, Butler's Chocolates, a Cadbury purple Snack and a bumper pack of Tayto crisps. Click here for more info.
