And we need to vote with our feet and wallets. If Dunnes, etc. see people boycotting Tesco own-brand or non-Irish produce then business sense will ensure they don't follow suit. So the next step begins this week when you decide to go shopping. Tesco or not? And wherever you shop - where do those strawberries, that meat, those vegetables come from?

They've always done this of course - but when it is to the detriment of Irish suppliers - I don't think this is right. Check this Tribune article for more http://bit.ly/101hkU @Dave

They are giving consumers choice. If consumers continue to buy Irish then I would assume that these products will remain on the shelf. If consumers decide that the Irish products are not up to scratch or are too expensive then so be it. Either way, Dunnes and Super Value will probably still have the Irish products anyway!

We're seriously considering boycotting Tesco, not only for the threat to Irish produce, but the price discounts on the boarder which aren't reaching the southern part of the country.
