The owner of a supermarket in west Cork has criticised some customers who have abused shop staff about their Covid-19 measures.

Eugene Scally, who owns Scally's Supervalu in Clonakilty, said the abuse of one member of his staff at the weekend was the latest incident that spurred him to share a message on social media. He wrote the statement after leaving work on Friday feeling "emotionally exhausted".
