In the first four weeks of lockdown back in March, people spent €158m on alcohol, which represented an increase of 40% year on year.

In this week's Industry Review, Bobby was joined by Gary O’Donovan, Chairman of the National Off License Association of Ireland and the Owner and Managing Director of the O’Donovan’s Off License Group in Cork, Richard Molloy the Managing Director of The Molloy Group and Padraig Sweeney, Owner of Sweeney’s D3 Off License and Café.
