The only information I found is that the cans and the manufacturing of them has been a problem which started around October last year.

It didn't give a great deal of detail but the materials have become difficult to get hold of, the articles were in newspapers online and full of pop up advertising and videos, so I sacked looking any further.

Hi there could you be more specific regarding the actual supermarket you refer to "in the east," as I am doing the rounds today and it would be useful to know about this one anyway

Thanks
Sorry not to be clear , Im talking about the East of the Island, Larnaca,

Im wondering if Brexit, has caused problems?, extra duty etc, maybe not enough profit for the distributors to bring over?

So, WHL is correct. " Cyprus wholesalers don't always buy and import it direct from Dublin. "
