I bumped into @Pat_Whelan over on Twitter and thought his efforts on James Whelan Butchers worth a plug. Based in Clonmel, Co Tipperary Pat tells me they rear their own cattle and sheep, dry age the meat and sell either online or in their local store. The web site has plenty of info on products and how the ordering process works. Free shipping on orders of over €100 or more as well.
With the likes of Tesco pushing back on Irish products and where Irish jobs are more important than ever this kind of enterprise dererves to be highlighted. Give it a try and check out Pat’s blog over on http://meatireland.com

Similar to http://www.omegabeefdirect.ie . We are choosing organic beef and chicken in as much as we can and preferably locally sourced. Gotta say that Scallys SV in Clon is still a very resourceful shop for this. Be careful with the labelling ‘abuse’ on some organic foodstuffs. Some so-called producers can use this as a licence to print money. Also is there a benefit to sourcing organic food that is produced on the other side of the world??
Fair dues for mentioning the call to arms to support Irish producers
