Food maven Darina Allen has called for the Irish government and consumers to support specialist food stores.

Speaking recently at a Bord Bia conference in Kinsale, Co. Cork, Allen said that “the people driving Ireland’s specialty food sector are pioneers who are passionate about their product and have shown their commitment by operating to the highest standards.”

Agriculture Minister Joe Walsh noted that speciality food firms numbered more than 200 in Ireland, employed more than 1,500 people, and pulled in euro 250 million a year in profits.
