It appears as though Storm Emma has turned society absolutely mad.

There’s reports of looting at Lidl City West near Fortunestown earlier this evening and that the Irish army are attending the scene as Gardai were dealing with other incidents. 

Authorities are currently clearing the roads with a snow plough to make way for the Gardai.

Footage of the scene shows people hiding their faces and the public using a stolen dumper to loot

Lidl in Tallaght has collapsed and is reportedly on fire after being destroyed by a JCB

What started as people “stealing crates of beer” after some members of the public realised an entrance in Lidl in Fortunestown, Tallaght, was left open has escalated to being brought down by a JCB.

Dublin has gone absolutely mad 

A Garda spokesperson confirmed to LovinDublin that “an incident was underway in a supermarket in City West and Gardai are investigating”

People have also seemingly broken through the shutters of a Centra in Jobstown and are looting there also 

Footage from earlier this evening shows a group arriving to the supermarket on a dumper machine

Fianna Fáil say culprits “must feel the full force of law”
