Is there anything we won't be short of!?

Flakes, fake tan and now our festive season is in jeopardy all thanks to the big boat.

Ireland could be heading for a Christmas tree shortage, due to recent mild weather and the Suez Canal blockage.

Fewer artificial trees are available this year due to supply chain issues, with prices jumping 50 percent on last year's prices in some Irish outlets.

Meanwhile real trees bought too early are unlikely to last until the big day as the recent mild weather is causing them to shed their needles after around 10 days indoors.

So it looks there's only one option for this year.
