Tesco Ireland make an estimated 9.5% profit margin, compared to a 6% margin for Tesco UK. The price reductions will hurt nobody but the Irish suppliers (especially the smaller guys) who will take practically the entire hit.
They are changing their "planograms" and replacing lot of Irish brands with similar British products which are cheaper to source. It may seem great for the consumer's pockets, but is ultimately very bad news for the economy..
Its all here, but reading it possibly falls into the lifes too short lane

Tesco rolls out its Change for Good in the capital while more reports arise of dropped Irish lines and the company admits to cutting 3,000 'slow sellers'
Jul 8 2009
CEO Tony Keohane says 40% to 50% of Tesco sales are of Irish products “depending on the season,” while a company spokesperson revealed 3,000 lines of Irish suppliers have been removed
Tesco Ireland has extended its Change for Good price cuts programme to nine stores across north Dublin.
All of Dublin's 29 stores will also be converted to the Change for Good planograms which source international product directly from the UK, by mid-July.
The nationwide roll out meanwhile, involving a Tesco investment of more than €100 million, will be completed in August.
The latest conversions bring the number of Change for Good stores to 31, including outlets along the border and in the west also.
Tesco claims the programme has delivered price reductions at an average of 22% across 12,500 products, which has led to an additional 25,000 customers visiting stores each week.
The group has estimated that €50 million less will be spent in the north this year as a result of price-cutting at the border stores alone. Tesco expects this figure to rise to €200 million when the nationwide roll out is complete, which it says is "good for Ireland and our suppliers."
CEO Tony Keohane insisted Tesco is "committed to selling Irish products that customers want," and that, "depending on the season, 40% to 50% of sales are of Irish products." However The Irish Times subsequently reported that 350 Irish products have been removed from Tesco's shelves since the programme began.
A Tesco spokesperson said 3,000 "slow sellers" were removed to make way for 7,000 new products, many of them sourced directly from the UK rather than through local distributors. Some 2,000 of the removed items were international products and 700 were own-brand items.
About 70 of these 350 Irish products have since been put back on shelves in response to consumer demand and other factors, he added.

i'm not an economist but i know recession = dropped employment, dropped standard of living, wages all fucked...so are people meant to shell out on irish food that costs more just to buoy up the economy? i think people are more concerned with buoying up their own fridge stocks seeing as that's where they actually eat out of.
I know! Its a killer. As some dude said, "those are my principles, and if you don't like them... I have some others"

Ah,some dude,he has all the answers.
Tesco are basically a massive, ugly rapist and this Change for Good programme is like a slightly less abrasive lubricant.

i's true, no-one would refuse lubricant, but it doesn't quite make it right.
Totally agree, especially those who have lost their jobs, have young families etc. But still, we often hear people giving out about being ripped off by Irish producers, when its the big retailers making ALL the money...
I'd suggest trying Aldi rather than Tesco, as they are beginning to source lots of Irish brands (over 40% now) and don't treat their suppliers so abysmally..

I suspect that might be whats called telling it like it is.
But I love cheap grub.

Oh,I'm an Aldi man,sure I even buy me computers off them.And they stock the nicest lagers(Ottinger-€6.49 for 6 cans,Brassiere-€5 odd for 10 ittle bottles,14 of which will have you on your back).
But €3.49 for a 3'y of cider in Tesco.Thats incredible.Srsly.
Thats a buzz that won't break the bank.

I overdid it on Lidls Grafenwalder pilsner in the can and that bottled one yer going on about when they first came out.I was drinking them every night.
Same thing hasn't happened with Aldis beer though.
Mind you that Galahad shite is manky and they dropped it from 4.1 to 3.8 abv.My auld dear used to drink it until one morning we were having a few cans and she produced the Galahad and I pointed out the 3.8ness of it.Nearly swallowed her fag.Swears by lidls gargle now.

what can I say?
should I celebrate their £3 billion annual profits (on the backs of bankrupted small businesses and screwed over farmers) by putting my hard earned cash in their till?
mind you, I have to remain positive on the potential they could have if they copped themselves on. Even Walmart are making changes for the better.
phew, that was brief.
