The frenzied and frantic shopping of Longford folk ahead of the Storm Emma Status Red Weather Alert lock down showed little sign of abating today as the majority of stores re-opened.

As this photograph, by John Regan, taken earlier today (Saturday, March 3, at around 4.30pm) in Lidl Longford, goes to show that our love for bread and #armabreadon is showing no sign of abating!!!!!
