Dublin supermarkets are struggling to maintain fruit and vegetable stock due an unusual weather event abroad.
Below freezing temperatures in Spain have dampened fruit and vegetable trade across Europe. Irish retailers such as Supervalu, Tesco and Lidl confirmed they were experiencing shortages last night. Dublin Live visited several local supermarkets this morning to find out how they were coping with depleting stock.
The manager of Tesco in Crumlin Village said that items such as blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are in short supply for their customers. She told Dublin Live: "There's only a certain amount of vegetables affected, it's more so fruit. We're trying to fill out the shelves with what we do have but we've been lacking in items over the past few days."
