Clothing is not deemed essential.

KaneToad · 24-10-2020 3:53pm

Wrap yourself in a bed sheet. Be grand.

Gavman84 · 24-10-2020 8:24pm

Dunnes are selling clothes anyway bought a hat earlier!

AMKC · 24-10-2020 11:02pm

Tesco or Dunnes maybe even M&S. Either that or shop online.

martingriff · 24-10-2020 11:45pm

Online or is some place place maybe click and collect. Heard the Dunnes/Tesco etc should not be

ILoveYourVibes · 25-10-2020 2:07am

certain food shops have a clothes section. That or online.

SweetCaliber · 25-10-2020 2:08am

My local tesco has the clothing section fully closed off with signs stating due to level 5 its closed, they seem to have underwear and socks available to purchase though.

The Dunnes down here in Kilkenny closed off access to their clothing section. Still have access to the alcohol section though.

Not to mention if you have a fast growing kid or teenagger having a growth spurt and on a budget. Those fivers per internet purchase add up and the hassle of returns via your local post office where high risk elderly people frequent. Lockdown/level 5 if repeated will also push the clothes shops to be buzier in between levels.

Tork · 25-10-2020 3:08pm

Dealz? I haven't been in since this lockdown started but they sold clothes throughout the last one.

It's amazing how COVID-19 can distinguish between clothes shops and other shops like supermarkets. Truly a remarkable virus.

We can't stop going food shopping. It is essential. We can stop shopping for new clothes - they are not essential. If you literally only have one pair of trousers, one shirt and one jumper you're probably more likely to need to access VdP services than need to go clothes shopping.

That's the logic behind it.

But you already knew that didn't you.

Plonker.

It's not as if it's the security guard in Tesco's fault they can't sell clothes

jrmb · 25-10-2020 4:04pm

Tesco Jervis had moved clothes to just inside the entrance when I was there during the week. During the last lockdown, the M&S nearby ended up cordoning them off. I bought in bulk from Penneys just before they closed this time, just in case.

landofthetree · 25-10-2020 4:05pm

Can you click and collect from M and S?

thenightman · 25-10-2020 4:09pm

M&S are doing click and collect for clothing, says so on website.

I thought the vdp second hand clothes shop are closed like the other charity shops? Didnt they also say that they are substantially down on contributions of clothes.

I've been wearing the same couple of things since March, pretty much, apart from the few times I managed to get out socially during not so lockdown.
It's great not having to worry about it, and it just goes to show how unnecessary most of the clothing is that we buy. For such a polluting industry, the less we buy the better.

I dare you to say that to me when I have to go to Dunnes wearing a dress.

In fairness, whiskey and brandy have medicinal purposes if you're in shock or have a cold.

Thanks. I didn't know that, but you would figure that they would try to limit the access to alcohol since they're blaming house parties and street parties for this latest lockdown.

There'd be anarchy if they did that but it'd be one way to quell the socialising. They'd have to announce it out of the blue after 10:00 some night to avoid the throngs of people emptying out the shelves.

What sort of person only has one pair of pants?
And how often do you split jeans? You sound like a serial offender.

Dunnes in blanchardstown open yesterday for clothes was closed off last lockdown so was surprised to see it buiness as normal bit unfair to some of the one off shops though.

vafankillar · 25-10-2020 6:06pm

dunnes lucan is open as normal and it's just a clothes dunnes, no supermarket

rolling boh · 25-10-2020 6:31pm

Maybe other shops should sell a bit of ppe so they then open up as well as dunnes and tesco that must be why can trade away as normal .

Dressoutlet · 25-10-2020 6:48pm

With children in school parents need to be able to purchase uniforms, shoes, coats, hats etc. Not thought through by the government

rolling boh · 25-10-2020 7:00pm

I feel clothes shops should open with safety in mind not a couple of big chains selling a bit of ppe to get around the guidelines i agree people still need to buy at least the basics .

Yeah and next any nice food, soft drinks, juices etc. Sure people can survive on gruel and water, anything else is a luxury and non essential. That will definitely prevent people dying from covid.

Well sure weren't people complaining about people unnecessary purchases during the last lockdown like easter eggs.

Give em what they want, nothing beyond bread, milk and eggs for a week and they'll shut up quick enough.

Here's an indication of what a total ban on the sale of alcohol leads to.

That's where it's headed. And people laugh when you say we are headed towards communism seems to be getting very like communist Russia now.

You've lead a very sheltered life if you think this is like communist Russia.

Dunnes online store has basically next day delivery if you’re stuck.

Many smaller places are worth trying & can be fast too.

And the usual big online brands are often very quick.

Where can you buy clothes in Dublin during lockdown?
