I'd say it would be ok as long as they wear gloves and a mask.There are people out there who are ignoring the rules.But I know kids all over have had to take the brunt of this virus.They need to get out for their own mental wellbeing.Just take all the precautions for them.

As well as the PPE if they were kept under good control then nobody could complain too much.

Depends on the kid.

Obedient kid who understands social distancing and doesn't maul everything in sight - grand.

Wildling feral spawn of Satan - nope.

Parents generally aren’t capable of making that distinction- ‘my little Johnny is as good as gold’.

Why anyone would want to bring a kid “grocery” shopping is beyond me.

It never seems to end well and, a lot of the time, it seems like a way for horrible parents to publicly shame and abuse their kids.

I’d say most people doing it don’t have a choice.

I've seen whole families walk into Dunnes Roscommon with not a care in the world. You're no bigger problem than the 5000 who were allowed walk down On Connel Street last week.

I would imagine when it doesn't go well,is because certain parents don't have control of their kids.But there are others who have well minded kids and just want to get them back out in society.

You don't know the poster or the relationship they have with their children,so you really can't make such a broad assumption.IMO

It has been advised that children under the age of thirteen shouldn't wear face masks , it's on the hpsc website .
Keep them close beside you , or in a buggy or trolley , depending on their age , would be my advice .

It would be ammunition for the action starved drama queens I’d say.
Best avoided.

You should get more instead of sitting on a keyboard.

Id say the internet would be an easier place to sell them.

Just go outside the special OAP hours, older people are really worried when they see packed shops, especially with kids running amok.

You’re right, I don’t, but, if it can be avoided, kids shouldn’t be taken “grocery” shopping. Especially at this time.

If your partner needs a “break” at home take the kid for a walk or to the park. Or on a drive, if it’s raining.

You still see too many families queuing up to do their shop. It’s a joke. And it gets worse when you hear the abuse the parents give the kids. Supermarkets should not be used for a “day out”.

You see the same at places like Ikea. Unimaginative parents taking their kids along, treating it like it’s a trip to the zoo. Which is ironic, considering they are the ones people end up looking at.

Just leave the kids at home, when possible. If it’s “unavoidable”, please don’t shout, and swear, at them, it’s not their fault they had to come along.

That is true,you bring up issues I agree with and cannot argue.
