This day 12 months ago videos appeared online of empty shelves in supermarkets across the country, when Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced a 2 week lockdown due to Covid-19.

Andrea spoke to Ger Lynch who is the store manager of Tesco in Edenderry in county Offaly, Steve Maher who is a Delivery Driver for Tesco and Laura Murray who is a general assistant for Tesco in Liffey Valley in Dublin.
