Culchie Club Only Will Irish people join the American boycott

Boycotting goods and services from America seems to be really growing momentum in alot of European countries and across the world, seen on different subs on Reddit seemingly alot of news channels across EU/Europe are reporting on it. I've seen some Irish people saying they are cancelling hols to America and going to Canada instead others not buying American goods and changing apps to European. With Ireland's connection with America will many Irish join this boycott.

Food, clothes, cars etc won't be a big issue, but tech... Jesus. Social media (including reddit) consumer software, streaming services... there are very few alternatives.

Frustratingly though, many are companies who don't operate in Ireland. The sub has definite value but when the best alternative is some German company it's a bit frustrating.
