    https://www.irishtimes.com/business/agribusiness-and-food/european-court-rules-against-minimum-alcohol-pricing-1.2476070%3fmode=amp

    That article is dated December 2015 and was overturned.

    I find it strange how the UK supreme court can overturn an EU court ruling but thanks for the info!

    The ECJ ruling was basically that it was up to the relevant national court to make a final decision.

    Even if/when the Oireachtas passes this bill, the President still has to sign it into law (and could theoretically send it to the Supreme Court to test its constitutionality).

    And even after all that, the relevant minister has to sign a commencement order to cause the legislation to actually come into effect. I'd expect the minister to do similar to the Scottish Government and give six months' notice of commencement to allow businesses time to adjust. So we're looking at late autumn at the earliest.

    And then there's always the possibility of a third party legal action after the bill is enacted but before it's commenced delaying things still further.

    I thought this was a mistake but it is actually Chianti two weekends in a row, this weekend it's the slightly more expensive 2013 Riserva... tempting...

    Does anyone know the typical limits on how many of the items (like the booze) you can purchase?

    Not sure if it applies to drink, But usually the limit is 10 per person.

    Limits on grocery items can range from 5-10 in my experience the odd time it might be higher or lower.
    Often though they take notice of these limits depending on the store and who you meet!

    It's per customer, plus they are strict.
    Otherwise they get complaints about running out of stock

    My store don't care, they've often put through multiple transactions for me for the same item.

    That would pee me off, as there is no stock left by Sunday afternoon

    My local LIDL is D3, they are strict about 1 case per customer, so 6 bottles.
    But if it's a couple doing the shop, they will do 2 transactions, one per person.

    Even then, on a Saturday if it's a good wine it'll be gone by lunchtime if not sooner :(

    The cashiers are meant to get bonuses or have their preformance rated somehow on how many customers they get through, so it might be in their interest to allow people circumvent the supposed rules.

    Haven't had the 2013 Chianti yet, the 2016 Chianti is lovely - but it needs to breathe. I had half a bottle first night and it was ok, the second half the followng night was a lot nicer. You would think it had turned into a more expensive wine...

    Has anyone been able to get the veggie burgers that are on special this weekend. Tried Glasnevin but there was a sign up saying that due to some problem, they were unavailable. Just wondering is it all branches or just this branch otherwise I'll try some of the other stores tomorrow

    They had some in Bray, but only very few left by around 2 o'clock.

    Had very few Veggie Burgers in Sligo at 10.30. They seemed to have cleared the stock from normal freezer into a corner of specials freezer.

    Toilet rolls were almost gone and Chianti was starting to fly. I could only find 2014 instead of 2013 that was advertised...was reduced alright..don't know if 2013 is any better than 2014 vintage!!!

    Were they enforcing the quota per customer?
    As we see, boardsies are complaining about non-availability

    I saw a fair few people leaving Lidl in Glasnevin with boxes of wine so it would seem that the quota was NOT being enforced, which I find very annoying. It would be nice if everyone could get a bite of the cherry....... or maybe I'm just pedantic!!! ;)

    Didn't see anyone with anymore than a 6pk of wine. Limit on other things clearly marked as 10.
