Taco Bell queues, restaurant blues: Are US giants hurting Ireland's food sector?
Published 3 months ago
Description
Burgers, burritos and doughnuts - these are hardly exotic menu items for the average Irish family nowadays. But anyone who witnessed the hours-long queues for Ireland’s first Taco Bell would be forgiven for thinking otherwise. The US franchise’s triumphant launch is in stark contrast to the many homegrown businesses recently forced to close. What will Budget 2026 bring for Irish hospitality, and is our hunger for American fast-food starving local businesses?
Host: Kevin Doyle Guests: John Meagher and John Mulligan
