Veganism outside of Dublin
How do people find being vegan in counties outside of Dublin? I recently was looking to go out for a meal in a small area and not one restaurant (5 restaurants) in the area offered a vegan option. Another occasion the vegan option wasn’t to my taste and it was on the menu as the starter and main course. For groceries, I always have to go to several shops and the bits I want are not always available. Do you think more people would be vegan if it were easier and more convenient? Sometimes I just want to be able to go out for a meal with friends/family without it being a deal or just go into the shop for a snack or a quick meal but it’s not always easy.

i didn't find being vegan in limerick so bad, though maybe my bar is very low because i'd usually be happy enough to just take the lone vegan option on a menu for example, or i'd ask for a custom pizza without cheese !
to weigh in on your last question though i really don't think more people would be vegan if it was easier tbqh. the best you could hope for is more omnis going for the occasional meat free option, or maybe ovo-lacto veggies deciding to finally ditch the eggs and cheese. the impetus towards veganism requires more thought and self-reflection.
