Keeping it in the community
Communities are discovering that they can fight the recession by supporting the businesses in their area and making sure that people spend their hard-earned euros locally.
We want to hear of such initatives happening around the country.
If you're involved in one, email us at morningireland@rte.ie with the subject heading Keeping It In The Community.
