It's reported there's a confectionary supply issue!

HARIBO has issued a statement following reports of a sweet shortage.

Reports have been coming from the UK that the German confectionery giant has warned of a supply issue due to a shortage of lorry drivers.

But it could affect us here in Ireland too.

A spokesperson for HARIBO has issued a statement to us on the matter.

"This is a global supply chain issue and not specific to the UK," the spokesperson said.

"As is the case with many manufacturers and retailers, we are experiencing challenges with regards to the driver shortage."

While it could affect Ireland, they said there's no need to worry.

"We are, however, continuing to make lots of deliveries to our customers and while there may be some short-term disruption people in Ireland do no need to worry, our treats will be available in store."
