Mr. Liam Donnelly:

It is interesting what Sarah Kenny and Tomás Kenny said about marketing being an ecosystem. We are bookshops and then there are publishers and writers. All feed off each other. The disconnect, as Sarah rightly said, is in the fact that there is a lack of engagement from Irish language publishers with the physical shops. Previously, Áis had the best representative in the world but he retired and since then Áis has communicated only by email. Áis as an organisation and distributor does not communicate with us except by email. There is no physical person there.
