  • Should you be forced to walk through a gift shop?

    Should you be forced to walk through a gift shop?
    Jul 16 2025

    Families visiting Dublin Zoo are frustrated by a new exit route that forces them through the gift shop, putting added pressure on parents to avoid impulse buys after a long day.

    While some see it as a push to boost sales, the zoo likely relies on retail income to support rising operational costs.

    What do you think? Is this new location necessary, or is it just added pressure for families?

    Joining Andrea to discuss is Editor of Cork Beo, Joe O'Shea, Katie Makk from the Opinions Matter podcast, as well as listeners.
