The Taoiseach is reminding people supplies are good and there's no need to panic buy or stockpile food.

It follow reports of long queues outside some of the country's supermarkets this morning after tighter restrictions were introduced overnight.

Leo Varadkar says food stores and takeaways are staying open, and you can go beyond the two kilometer restrictions to buy food and medicine.

Arnold Dillon, from Retail Ireland, says it's important people shop responsibly.

"The supply chain isn't geared up to manage with significant bulk buying. If that does happen we risk running out of stock in some areas."

However he added, "but stores are going to manage that on the ground and I think most people have got the message and are shopping responsibly."
