This is by no means an exhaustive list. We know that the hospitality sector will be facing major difficulties, so a big show of support is to buy vouchers for restaurants, hotels and getaways. And in the meantime, every euro you spend on the Irish economy right now during our time of crisis, will be a euro well spent. Please feel free to add to this list.
