About this episode
Are Ireland’s traditional main streets dying, or can they be revived? Rising business costs, online shopping, changing consumer habits, parking, and the growth of out-of-town retail are putting pressure on independent businesses across the country.
Monday's Morning Focus looked at the future of our own town centres, and what needs to change to keep them vibrant.
Joining Alan Morrissey were John O’Connor, Chairperson of Retailers of Ennis and owner of Custy’s Music Shop, and Robert Kennedy of Kennedy’s SPAR in Lahinch.
