No risk with face shields, safe as a house mate.
Irish Rail have removed three people from trains following their refusal to wear a face covering since their use became mandatory on public transport on Monday. Anyone who is found to break the law can be fined or face a prison term. It comes as the government works on regulations to also enforce the use of face coverings in all shops and retail settings to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Irish Rail's Barry Kenny says there has been a high compliance rate since new laws came into force this week on public transport but issued a warning:“Make no mistake – if you are going on and you’re one of these idiots, right, who is out there saying ‘you are infringing on my rights,’ we’re not. There’s a law of the land there, and if our staff feel the need to get support from the security teams or the gardaí to go to enforcement, because we don’t want to be rowing with customers. As I say, educate, encourage, engage.”

"everyone on the bus pulled the mask down as soon as they sat down, people are only wearing them because they are afraid they might not be allowed on to the bus" That's what I was told.

If the person is that clueless they are a walking biohazard, mask or not, visor or not. You're going to have to explain how the visor increased the risk from such an individual.

Soviet Union stuff, what is happening now in Ireland is deeply sinister. I fear our Eastern European community will be deeply alarmed and recall similarities to the USSR. Whats most terrifying is how our fellow Paddies and enthralled by informing on their neighbours and cheerleading arrests and draconian "laws"

I stand by the Republic and its citizens and I wear a mask. We've had the Holocaust brought up by the anti-masks briagde and now the spectre of the USSR. What next I wonder.

There has been no debate, there is a shocking lack of scientific evidence supporting the wearing of masks against Covid. This is hit and hope stuff. Voluntary masks are one thing but to have our Gardai acting in Gestapo-esque fashion to enforce the wearing of masks ( when they don't even wear them!) and imprison non complies is terrifying and sinister in the extreme

We are trying to protect the vulnerable in our society. To equate this with the Holocaust is not only grossly wrong but offensive. There appears to be no depths the anti-mask brigade won't stoop to. On this thread we have had attempts to evade masks by using everything from priofessional misconduct to forge mask exemption letters, to fake pleas about GDPR violation and discrimination. Now it's alluding to the Holocaust.
