French journalist Benjamin Carle recently set himself a task of 100 patriotism in the past year. That means he doesn\'t have any foreign products, so property like his Chinese -- The IPhone, TV and refrigerator are all for sale. The Italian specifications are the same as his Moroccan underwear and Guatemala coffee. The Italian specifications are the same as his Moroccan underwear and Guatemala coffee. This is a bold experiment inspired by the emerging French movement to encourage French consumers to think about the source of their purchases. France\'s minister for industrial revitalization, Arno monteble, wants consumers to buy local goods to save their dying manufacturing industry. At the end of 10 months without foreign products, Benjamin Carr received 96 certifications. The nine cents made in France were only disappointed by his Chinese guitar, some of Ikea\'s forks and unidentified wall paint. When a guaranteed Irish institution like GAA deals with a multinational company like Sky, we complain, but we don\'t seem to be able to stop it. Since the recession hit Ireland in 2008, politicians and others have been urging us to put on green jerseys to help our economy in recession. So I did it for a week. I tried to live on Irish products only to respond to Ireland\'s call. Is it all or nothing? Everything from socks to dinner, from toothpaste to transportation must be 100 Irish. Not very good at first. It turns out that wearing a real green jersey is the first patriotic issue. I walked into every sports store I could find and looked for real replica jerseys for our national rugby and football teams. These days, after the victory of our Six Nations, they don\'t want to be in a big swing in the Irish rugby jersey, even if it never looks as good on the supporters as it does on Trimble or BodBut my rugby jerseys -- Because the approved Puma replicas are made in China, the ambition to wear clothes must be inspired. This is the same as FAI, as the official replica of the Umbro football jersey was assembled in Thailand. The only way I can wear an Irish green jersey is to buy a vintage 1980 Irish football jersey made by O\'Neill, a copy of the shirt that Liam Brady wore, Dave O\'Reilly et al, back to Africa-so- The glorious days in Eoin\'s hand-management era. Irish- Companies that own O\'Neill have factories in the north and south of the border. Trying to find an Irish painful experience Green jersey is a wake up In fact, the Irish clothing makers are like the ROV Dege Seahawks who were shot dead and on the verge of extinction. \"In the 1980 s, we had 530 Irish apparel and footwear manufacturers in Ireland, but there are few now,\" said Irish director Tom Rea . \". Ireland was once a state. Running the organization, many people still remember its loud movement on the GI logo on 1980 and Irish products. The children of guaranteed Irish schools were even sent home to spread the message with a guaranteed Irish badge. But the poor aould assured that it would have to be privatized in 1984 as Ireland violated EU freedom Operating as a private company today. In the apparel and footwear sector, Tom REIA has seen the biggest drop in Irish manufacturing. When he told me about the disappearance of the industry, I could feel my clothes disappear from my back for a week --A long experiment How about basic knowledge such as underwear and T-shirt Shirts, shirts and pants, \"There used to be a huge lingerie and pajamas industry here, with companies like Thomas Pink, but it\'s all gone,\" said Tom . \". \"In the past, in Galway, the jockey\'s underwear was produced under the license, and the fruit of the Loom was abundant here. \"The shirt of the Omega Club is also missing. Is the total decimal. \"Even if they try to make it, they can\'t make it at the price of the fabric,\" he said . \". Tom said: \"There must be some jeans manufacturers who are still doing their thing in some industrial unit,\" the jeans and jeans were made by Burlington Industries in Tullamore, but more than 20 years ago Maybe there\'s a chance to wear Irish clothes. Dubali is no longer made here. There is Whelan\'s, Cootehill, who is still homeless and Irish Dance shoes of Naas and Tutty, handmade Expensive, sought after faux shoes. \"Unfortunately, the Irish leather industry has disappeared, so it is unlikely that you will get Irish leather even if shoes are made here. I might keep my 100 Irish rating if I\'m doing nudity, however, due to the public -- It\'s not really a runner for decent consideration and cold weather. As far as I know, I am still assured by Ireland that it has not yet been outsourced to factories in Poland or China, as in most of our industries. The challenge is no longer to wear 100 of Irish clothing. Finding someone who still produces any Irish clothing is a challenge. My quest eventually took me to Glentis, donigel, and Martin breilin at donigel socks, who they thought he was the last manufacturer in Ireland Socks made in the country. He has hired six employees in donigel and has been working since 1991. \"I think we are the only one who has made a stand in Ireland,\" Martin said . \". \"There were six or eight before, but then they moved to Eastern Europe. \"Martin told me more stories of indifference to the Irish apparel industry. \"The whole industry has been neglected for 10 to 12 years,\" he said . \". \"The banks think the relationship between garment companies is very poor and they just don\'t want to get into the clothing industry. State-owned enterprises to chase high- The technology industry allows garment manufacturers to live alone. \"The boss of donigal socks believes that ignoring Ireland\'s manufacturing industry doesn\'t even make much sense in the market, because the demand for local goods is so big. \"China was a hot word ten years ago, but things have changed now,\" he said. People are looking for Europeans and Irish again. Others in the clothing industry here are actually stuck with their pants-if you forgive this pun-because there is a lot of demand, but they are not suitable for supply, because there is no investment in the jumper and knitwear industries, they are all nervous. \"People in the apparel industry really know how to mix their metaphor: the stretched jumper factory is crushed by pants. I know what he means, though, because every remaining Irish manufacturer tells me something similar. Neglect means a lot of clothing. Lost relevant skills. \"As a country, we let the whole industry go because there are very few skilled workers left,\" Martin explained . \". \"No Irish T- Along with the underwear industry, the shirt or shirt making of Omega man Omega also disappeared. \"Exit 35-donigel socks\" 40 of their products are sold to markets such as France, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. It\'s not just a job for Martin bristling and donigal socks; He was also involved in the protection of a way of life. \"At 1991, the clothing company I worked for closed down. I feel like it would be lost if it wasn\'t learned this skill at Glentis, so it\'s really a labor of love for me. \"He was also annoyed that Ireland\'s flagship brands, such as sports teams, could not consider showing some Irish products. \"It\'s a huge shame for the jerseys, but why don\'t they wear at least Irish socks,\" Martin said ? \"! The import of these products must attract people\'s attention. Buying Irish socks will create jobs for Ireland. Even the socks of the Irish Army were imported from China. \"So far, I have gained a foothold in Ireland -- Made clothing, Martin\'s wool is 80 cents, and the acrylic acid is 20 cents. Mix socks with purple, red, pink and blue kaleidoscope. It was a beginning to make up for the fact that my shoes were not Irish. Due to the absence of the underwear industry, I had to go to the commandos and I was forced to wear mostly foreign clothes except for a week wearing O\'Neal\'s stripes and sportswear -- Made clothes. At some stage, I had a good idea to wear a Magee suit in a week, so I called Tom REIA again to make sure it was Irish. \"Magee is no longer produced here, but they still produce cloth,\" he said . \". That\'s the end of my light. bulb moment; Especially after I found out that they don\'t even produce bulbs in Ireland anymore, because Solus doesn\'t produce them in Bray anymore. My French colleague, Benjamin Carle, stripped off his apartment before restocking only the country\'s products. He even found the last small French company to produce toothbrushes. This is a very difficult task in Ireland. I was told that Naas had a toothbrush factory but unfortunately it was closed. Later I found a brush company called Dosco, but then I found out that the Irish company only produces paint brushes, mops and dustpan. and-brush sets. When I found out that P & G was still producing B-mouth toothbrushes in Newbridge, I resigned. When I was looking for patriotic speaking Health products, I found Declan Lenahan, founder and CEO of European pharmaceutical concept company (EPC. ) Declan\'s company is the only company in Ireland that produces toothpaste, based in Clara, Co. Offaly. Since he did not work, he immigrated abroad after studying pharmacology at University and returned home in 2007. The factory now has 40 to 50 employees, and they are also doing their own research and development there. EPC has won contracts from countries around the world. There are chain pharmacies in Sweden, Norway and Finland, supermarkets in the UK, and a brand called Swiss smile, which they sell in Switzerland for 14 euros. 99 a pack. At the Aldi supermarket in Ireland, you can find their toothpaste packaged in Pilla, and their brand toothpaste is from the United Nations. Irish- It sounds like Beverly Hills. If Martin is passionate about his socks, then Declan is passionate about oral care. \"The only way to compete is to have something special. We are owned by the Irish, made in Ireland, we are in Tesco now and soon, we can say we are the best toothpaste in the world! \"I told Martin it was a bit proud, but he claimed it was supported by science. \"You judge toothpaste in two ways: Wear and stain removal,\" he explained . \". \"The degree of wear of toothpaste was tested at the University of Missouri, and many companies use more wear, but our toothpaste is soft. We also have stains. The removal rate of the University of Bristol study, they found that we had a removal rate of 90. \"The toothpaste maker believes that the attitude of the Irish towards locally produced products is changing. \"People don\'t care about Irish manufacturing when you have money. \"Back 10 years ago, on Celtic tigers, we just wanted to spend money from overseas to buy exotic things,\" Declan said . \" \"When time is hard, people care about where it is made because it is related to work. I try to buy it locally myself. The appeal of Chinese manufactured goods is also weakening, even for the Chinese themselves, he said. \"One of my goals is China,\" he said . \" \"I often meet Chinese people. a large number of people in China do not want \'Made in China \'. They have Gucci bags and foreign brands. \"Declan Lenahan established his toothpaste factory in Offaly in 2007, but he insisted that he would not get up and run if he started now. \"I don\'t get the support of banks or investors. The country was booming and people were more open to investment. Private investment is not now used in manufacturing. \"So, by looking like David fitzgerrard in the equipment of bernister Hill, in wool socks, and applying toothpaste to my fingers, I almost stuck with the 100 Irish plan. Sleeping was OK as we had a Respa bed which was made in Ireland but no Egyptian cotton sheets and Ikea duvet and it was cold. When I opened the blinds I knew they were made at Rathcoole and I could sleep well. Transportation is a major problem if you want to stay 100 in Ireland. I rode to work, but given that Raleigh closed the Dublin factory more than 30 years ago and since then, supplying Ireland from the UK, this is a problem in Ireland. Limerick, a company that restored gaonelli bicycles, the imaginative name of gaonelli Bicycle Co. , Ltd. , has also begun to produce their own new bicycles, starting at 980 euros. This is beyond the budget for the week, so the only reason is the mare of Shanks. At least my legs are Irish and there are no foreign implants yet. With these heads Melting the dilemma about what to wear and how to travel is a good thing, Panadol is made by Glaxo at 900- Watford works at dungavin. Having three kids doesn\'t make my job easier, but there are some advantages. Kildale is the center of the school. Arthur\'s Court and Deer Garden knitwear are both in Monasterevin, and the percentage of the world\'s 15 infant formula is made in Ireland. There are two still in diapers and I thank God that Sudocrem was proudly made in Dublin by Forest Tosara Ltd. The food industry is the only one that takes advantage of the desire for more Irish peopleproduced goods. Besides making green eggs and shampoo The shape of the white pudding, they can\'t do more to promote their Ireland. There is also the Irish food initiative, the quality assurance program operated by Bord Bia and the National Dairy Commission, and the respected and guaranteed Irish are also involved in the certification of the industry. Bord Bia operates a quality assurance program for products such as beef, bacon, chicken and eggs. \"There are many reasons why you should choose products with Q marks,\" a Bord Bia spokesperson said . \". \"You can rest assured that the product has been produced in accordance with the highest international standards and that Bord Bia will check regularly. You know where it comes from-if it comes with Irish Q Mark of origin then you can rest assured that this product is grown and processed in Ireland. \"Kieran Rumley is the head of the Ireland food group. They mainly prove the goods produced, not the raw materials such as eggs or meat left to Bord Bia. I asked him, \"Yes in terms of food,\" and he said, is it possible to eat only Irish food for a week. \"All the cauliflower, carrots, European radishes and potatoes are the majority of the present. \"You can still buy Irish apples, which are stored from the beginning of the season, whether it\'s eating apples or cooking apples. But I\'m afraid you won\'t get any soft fruit. \"All the food- Certified people, including Love Irish and Guaranteed Irish, provided me with a suggested menu for the day to keep it Irish. Breakfast is always porridge, produced by companies such as frahwan, kiragen and mcleo. By the seventh day the situation became a bit different, and given that I couldn\'t put foreign blueberries, Cinnamon was verboten and the source of most Irish honey couldn\'t be certified either. The only other option for breakfast is all Ireland, which is easy to buy with Irish sausage, ham sausage, eggs, pudding and toast. I would definitely be 100 Irish if I had breakfast every day, but 100 died of grease -- Blocked arteries! Some Irish certified love is fun. Like Sean Lames\'s old saying about the Irish Labor Party-they struggled with conscience and lost. They include very exotic products such as tea, coffee and juice in their certification program in Ireland. \"We have to call for products that are not available locally, but that are introduced and produced here, such as coffee and Barry\'s Tea,\" Kieran Rumley said . \". Love Irish certifies a variety of beverages such as several milk brands such as Robert Roberts coffee, Barry tea and Glanbia and Avonmore. Fortunately, I don\'t eat sugar because Siucra is no longer produced in Ireland and our four sugar mills were shut down a few years ago because of EU orders. Irish sugar now comes from Germany, France or the UK. \"Juice is another juice because obviously we don\'t have a climate here. \"A large number of oranges come from South America and Florida, but they are brought in and juice is pressed into a series of smoothies and blends,\" Kieran said, adding that at the same time, honey can also make them difficult. \"We don\'t have honey members -- \"Irish producers,\" he said. \"Honey is a dilemma. Packaging honey is a big business in Ireland, but native Irish honey is a scarce commodity. \"I was told at lunch that the bread was Irish and ham and cheese. Irish lovers gave me a recipe for mackerel fish sauce with Irish ingredients and a seasoning for lunch. There are also many soup companies in deroheda, and even a German sausage company. At dinner time, Ireland is recommended, such as Ireland- Chicken from the Manor Farm with grilled vegetables and baked potatoes. I even purchased from Ireland. I made a pizza base one night, but without tomatoes, the pizza would be different. I did, however, invent the Ballymaloe rustic pizza with cheese and white pudding. The less you say, the better. The food industry is also worried that once a skill is lost, it will be difficult to regain it, which echoes the concerns of the clothing industry. \"Once you \'ve lost your knowledge and capital investment, it\'s hard to go back and we \'ve seen this in the ice cream, sugar and cookies industry,\" Kieran Rumley said . \". Of course, the electrical industry in Ireland is a bit written-off. My fridge, cooker and washing machine are all from Slovenia so lots of hands Washing of donigal socks. Can I listen to my frames, Van Morrison and U2 on a Chinese album is also an ethical dilemma IPod produced. That\'s when I didn\'t watch RTE in Poland. Assemble a TV or watch a dvd, like the guard, for the fourth time in a week, and Glen hansade sings a serenade for Brendan Gleason at a music store. So what I learned is that we are increasingly concerned about our food, especially where it comes from. But we don\'t care too much about where our clothes are coming from or about the impact of our clothes on employment in the economy. Let me give you an example. I ripped a pack of Irish reckless people this week. There is a notice at the bottom of the package saying: \"By purchasing this package you have supported 8,000 Irish jobs and Irish farmers. \"I was still looking for the brand on the street.
