Lidl closes all stores in Ireland from 3pm today until Friday afternoon due to nationwide red alert for snow storm

Lidl Ireland has announced that all stores in the Republic of Ireland will be closed from 3pm today until Friday afternoon.  The company had announced closures in Leinster and Munster due to the snow storm yesterday. 
"Regional management may make decisions to extend these closures at local level depending on the weather conditions in their area," the statement read.

On the back of extended Governent advice to stay indoors, which now applies to the whole of ROI, we will extend the previously communicated closures in Leinster & Munster to the rest of the Republic of Ireland. All stores will now be closed from 3pm today until Friday afternoon.
