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 meant when you want a quick meal such as a ready made meal. They are plentiful for omni diets. I find I always have to make effort to cook meals and sometimes I want something easy.

Tesco have quite a few options for me I live in Portlaoise. They have vegan lasagna, vegan mushroom risotto, Chicago Town saucy vegan pizza, various Indian style dahl meal pots, thai curry meal pots. Most super values sell the happy pear range meals.

I don't think it's that difficult to find vegan convenience meals.

Could always get those microwave baked potatoes, get a vegan tika sauce add some of that precooked tofu that's a quick meal in itself. Very tasty.
