    What irks me is that they can buy in Dutch/Thai/Other chicken fillets, put breadcrumbs on them here (processing) and them call them an Irish product !

    That's not the worst of it.

    If a processor purchases a Kilo of chicken for €1 from anywhere in the world..... then adds 40% to the resale price.... Boom! you have yourself some Irish chicken.

    All completely within the law.

    There are a lot of butchers out there passing off Dutch/Thai/other as Irish fillets.:mad:

    They're definitely breasts. Not thighs.

    Branigans in rosemount industraial estate blancharddtown is the best in my opinion, always thought the prices were really good (don't have anything to hand right now) and always give good cooking advice.

    I buy my chicken fillets in bulk with them and freeze them, about 30, works out with more chicken for less money, so would recommend any day.

    Will look at prices properly later and see if it really is a great deal i am getting

    Not everything there is Irish though - so if you care where it comes from make sure you read the label. I got a huge strip of (irish) sirloin there last week to try for €7 odd and it was lovely so will be going back for more since I work in the bus. park next door ;) Also got some lamb breast for the dog and he was delighted lol

    Just to fill you all in, on the topic of chicken fillets: my local butcher, in Dublin, is involved with a farmers group, and they have chicken fillets which they will be selling shortly.
    I'll keep you in the loop.

    Any news on that?

    McLoughlin Butchers in Ballyfermot and the Mill Centre Clondalkin do 10 extra large Irish chicken fillets for €10.

    Are they Irish or processed to turn them into Irish, how do does anyone know, butchers dont usually have them prepacked and even if they are how do you know?
    I say this on the basis that Im looking to find a butchers that either cuts the meat themselves or gets it from somewhere that it is known where it comes from. You would think it is in a businesses interest to just say whats what, if you like the look of the prices of foreign produced meat, ok, if not then what is the price of the traceable stuff produced in Ireland/nearer afield.
    I would like to stop buying in Tescos.

    I've wondered, simply how would you know?

    Anyone know any place that makes a point of providing traceable preferably Irish meat? Anywhere in western Dublin, as Id plan on buying in bulk and freezing it.
    Or even if it can be sourced from butchers that have deals with farmers?
