People queued up before dawn as supermarkets opened for the first time ever on Easter Sunday amid the Covid-19 lockdown.
“Right now, it’s too important to be there for customers given the pressures we're under, so we accept this one is special, it’s unique,” Foodstuffs chief executive Chris Quinn said.

Supermarkets were closed on Good Friday, providing a chance to restock shelves.
While alcohol could not be sold, easter eggs were flying off the shelves.

“It’s not been a manufacturing or supply, it’s just getting it through our supply chain into stores at the rates at which it’s being consumed,” Mr Quinn said.
