Mayo GAA supporters urged to 'buy local' ahead of All-Ireland final

An elected representative has called on Mayo GAA supporters across the county to 'buy local' in the lead-up to Mayo’s All-Ireland football final against Kerry on Sunday.

Councillor Deere encouraged fans in towns and villages throughout Mayo to support local businesses selling Mayo merchandise.

“Our local shops and businesses support clubs, community councils, and organisations all year round,” Councillor Deere said.

“They pay their rates, they contribute to our communities and they are always there when we need sponsorship or assistance. It’s only right that we support them now, when demand for Mayo colours is at its highest.”

He encouraged supporters to purchase their Mayo merchandise from established premises and local retailers, ensuring that the economic benefit of the All-Ireland build-up stays within Mayo.

“Let’s back our team, and our local businesses, together,” he added.
