    Iv never really shopped in M&S as I couldn't really afford to, minus the odd bits, but the food levels seem to have been low in comparison to the Tesco etc The usual items I'd buy in Tesco haven't been in stock since January. Since the start of January, I often popped in and got a few bits on their final marked reduction for really really cheap. I didn't follow the person doing the marking down around the shop like Iv seen being done towards closing.

    For the sake of a family member of mine who works there, I hope M&S doesn't close in the center. They liking working there and her managers looks after her. They're a good employer. Since the start of covid they've given staff hamper bags of food etc

    M&S would do well to take over one of the floors of the Debenhams, if not both. A larger Homeware, men's, kids, womenswear and food dept. I know a Alot of the Blanch staff go to LiffyVally for homeware and clothing.

    They have to comply with EU Food Safety Stanards so as to retail their products in Ireland.

    Agreed. A relocation to one or both Debenhams floors would be good. The M&S in Blanch seems so cramped compared to the ones in Liffey Valley or city centre. Admittedly, I'd never buy clothes there( they always seem so boring and conservative and on the pricey side) or rarely food shop there but would be a loss if it was to go as many people do shop there.

    Havn't been able to find ginger cake for the last few months in Dublin 15 shops at all, used to be a favourite family treat at the weekend.

    Speaking of which, do they do the golden syrup version of the same cake too?

    Sorry, no idea. I only knew re: the ginger one because my wife picked one up for her dad when we were doing some supplemental shopping for them.
