Lads. If yous go down this road of not buying from companies with dodgy business practices you may sit in a field without a stitch on your back eating grass. How many of you typed these comments using a Samsung/Apple phone? Neither have historically covered themselves in glory.

It's not worth it, just live your life.

Just because you can't be entirely consistent in your consumer habits isn't a reason to stop trying to do some good with your purchasing power.

Guinness - funded Loyalists, a British company masquerading as Irish. Pays taxes to King too.
Bushmills - similar to above plus there's much better Irish whiskey
Facebook/Instagram/X/Tesla - any tech in Trump/Israel's pocket
Joe.ie - anti Rossie site - amount of trolling they are doing this week on Ros crest. Must be the lad with no chin.

They've taken to supporting a different set of orangemen in recent years. There's a Tayto advertisement as Gaeilge in the Athletic Grounds
