    Pretty sure the Op started a very similar thread before, like many from the anti-mask crowd I suspect he’s just an attention seeker who chooses not to wear a mask because he wants to be challenged.

    There is not requirement under the guidelines for the bit in bold.

    That bit would keep you happy but loads of dickheads would be demanding something else.

    How about just obeying and accepting the guidelines that are in place?


    Do you not understand what "should" means?

    I am one of many people exempt from wearing a face covering.


    Who gave you this exemption ?

    Do you carry paper work around to show shop owners / bus drivers that you cant wear a mask ?

    I get the feeling from your posting history that you find the above extremely difficult yourself, in all scenarios.

    I don't have to prove anything.

    But yes I 100% can not wear a mask and yes I have tried.

    Yes. Remember this?
    I genuinely find the sensation unbearable and I have tried.

    I wore a mask into a shop a few months ago I ended up leaving the trolly with
    some shopping in one of the aisles and I came out and ripped off the mask.

    Many of us hate wearing them but we just have to man up and do it.

    And that's a major oversight with the guidelines imo. If there was such a requirement written into them then you would have nothing to fear from those who seek to "discriminate" against you and you could legitimately go about your business without fear of being fined on public transport, for example.

    Unfortunately, in some circumstances you kinda do.
    Wearing masks on public transport and certain retail outlets, is mandatory.
    Fines on the spot are being introduced, if you do not wish to get such a fine, then you will have to satisfy a member of An Garda Siochana as to your exemption.

    If a business calls the guards on somebody that is legally exempt they better be prepared to open their wallets.

    Now by law I do not have to prove anything to the guards but faced with the situation I would.

    By the way mandatory does not mean compulsory.

    If I was kicked off a train for example and children who are not masked are allowed to stay that is clear discrimination cut and dried and there is not sensible way to argue otherwise.
    The word 'mandatory' is generally used in the sense of 'binding'. On the other hand, the word 'compulsory' is generally used in the sense of 'essential'. This is the main difference between the two words. It is important to note that anything that is mandatory has the quality of binding the doer to the work.

    If a person feels extreme distress then they don't have to wear one, that's what the guidelines say.

    They're only a thumb-suck anyway.

    Unless you choose to read the HSE guidelines:
    Face coverings are not recommended for children under the age of 13

    Are you a child under the age of 13?

    They stop all the bits of spit flying out of your mouth when you do things as simple as talk.

    Spitting on people spreads germs.

    Mandatory does not mean compulsory? What are you saying?
    It is an offence if you do not wear a mask on public transport and certain retail outlets.
    An offence is something that is against the law, if you have an exemption to such a law then you will need to prove that to the gardai.
    And under which grounds exactly would you due a shop for discrimination?
