Our greatly increased presence at this year’s National Crafts and Design Fair – Ireland’s flagship event for craft excellence, is wholly thanks to your response to our ‘Shop for Ireland’ campaign. You have shopped with Irish firms and you created Irish jobs so thank you for your support.
The score of diverse and enterprising Irish companies you see here today hail from locations right across Ireland where they provide employment directly in their home towns and parishes. Their continued efforts and successes give hope, encouragement and confidence to other budding entrepreneurs. These companies are Ireland’s true green shoots of revival.
As a discerning shopper you have the most vital role of all to play in Irish job creation. Our research shows that if every family spent just €4 per week more on Irish produce it would help create 6,000 new jobs.
Consider too that up to one third of all Irish annual retail spending takes place at Christmas - the potential impact of your own festive shopping basket on Irish employment is huge.
We’re asking you to visit all of the Guaranteed Irish supported exhibitors here today. We’re confident you’ll discover that our range of Irish craft and product speaks for itself at all levels of excellence.
