‘From what I can see there is a huge difference’

SHOPPERS crammed into Tesco in Drogheda yesterday morning to check out the price reductions the company has brought in to try and stem the flow of shoppers going North.

Thousands of Irish-made products have dropped in price in the 11 Tesco stores along the border – the outlets hardest hit by the Northern-based competition.

“No more going to Newry for me,” said Susan Clarke, from Drogheda, who is a regular shopper in the Co Down town.
