Discount supermarket chains Lidl and Aldi have said that they are to stop selling non-essential items while the country is under Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions. 

The move comes as shoppers and retailers have been left as confused as stores after a garda crackdown on 'non-essential' retail items last weekend.
