Stockpiling is pointless. The shops will be open and stocked for months. Today was an embarrassing day for Ireland, simple as that. Nobody is going to starve. People need to keep doing their weekly shop as normal and give the staff in the supermarkets a break. I am sure they were disgusted with the carry-on today. Stockpiling loo roll?????? Ludicrous. I think we will learn a huge amount about modern society in the coming weeks.

It's a far better idea to be in crowded shops today with 50 odd cases compared to potentially thousands of cases in a week's time.

My brother in law lives in Rome and says there's still plenty of fresh fruit and veg etc in the shops and markets. There will be food...we are a nation of food exporters. Small bit of perspective is needed.
