Glad to see Lidle opening up next door soon, might make them rethink about their tightfisted ways!
I like the way your solution is to abandon the local guy and head to the Germans. Enda is doing well if he has convinced you that there is no problem that the Germans will not solve for us.

We should be supporting Irish businesses rather than German discount chains.
This is mad. Are you suggesting we should all do our weekly shopping in a small store rather than go to the likes of Dunnes or Tesco to save a huge amount ?
This recession / depression has made the methodology of consumers change. We are all looking for the best deal, and if it means going elsewhere so be it, whether it be German Discount Stores or elsewhere that is cheaper.
I'm suggesting that people should shop in Dunnes, Superquinn or SuperValu (i.e. Irish businesses) rather than German businesses (e.g. Aldi or Lidl) or British businesses (Tesco).

Again why? Are jobs in those companies more valuable than the ones in the German retailers? Do the Irish suppliers to the German and British retailers not deserve our support as well?
This is not a case of people going across the border or buying from the UK online. These companies have a real presence here and create a huge number of direct and indirect jobs.
Their overall package is more valuable to the Irish economy.
They all use Irish suppliers.
It's like British people turning around and saying people should fly Easyjet instead of Ryanair because it is a 'British' company while ignoring the huge benefits that Ryanair bring to the UK.
Show your support by buying Irish produce. Couldn't care less if I buy it off an Irish, German or an Iranian owned store.
That's why I scrutinize the products not the retailer .
