'Going for my prescription is another one'

Here in Waterford Tramore has a few chemists

Of course you have a copy of said prescription with you?

Politicians who weren't awaiting test results lost their jobs for less

Anyone seen the recent tweets from Gardai twitter showing closed off clothing sections?

It is quite incredible what we have allowed happen in this country

Literally our law enforcement putting out propaganda boasting they have shut down places selling clothing in late autumn

How did we let this happen?

Are we that brain washed? It is really scary

Gardai can shut down the clothing section of Tesco or Dunnes as clothes are non essential but no stopping house parties and large sales of alcohol, so drunk hoes and bros over clothes

Most scripts, especially those issued under a medical card are held in the pharmacy for repeat prescriptions.

I think it would set a bad example if he was not dismissed.
More than likely he'll get a months paid leave!

For repeat prescriptions yes. But if you're looking for ways to get around the restrictions, no matter what I say, you can come up with excuses.
As I said it's the 90% doing what they can that allow the 10% do what they want.
Is it fair? No. But that's how life is.

I went to a shop today o,Connell Street, there was a male beggar he asked me 3 times have u got odds,
I think he was on drugs.
He was carrying a small cardboard box
He was either standing in the middle of the front entrance or else walking in and out of the shop
constantly
There was no way of avoiding him or
to keep a social distance from him and he was not wearing a mask

There were 3 young men working in the shop
If shops are going to allow beggars or people to go inside with no mask then what chance
have we of getting covid 19 under control
This is a small shop theres maybe space for 2 customers inside
if you wish to follow the social distancing rules

Also there's a problem in that some shops seem to have stopped employing
security guards since march
probably to reduce costs

I don't mind beggars if they want to sit near a shop with a cup on the ground
as you can choose to approach them or not
or just drop 50 cent in the cup
and beggars do not wear masks
I wonder is there a place you can complain
Business X is not following the basic rules on social distancing or asking
customers to wear a mask

Sorry for the long post
I was just annoyed with the staff
I bought phone credit and told the staff member that person should not be obstructing the entrance for paying
customers

Absolutely right. He should have been dragged off to the workhouse.

I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but where my relatives live near the border, Tinder has been running as normal. Young and not so young going over and back to Strabane and Derry and vice versa. Its hard to police that when there are approx 12 ways to cross the border in that region.

Loads more than 12.

When the Gardaí became too annoying asking whether my journey was essential every time I passed them in both directions, and after me informing them each time that it was none of their business and that they had no powers to enforce this non-law, I now drive around their checkpoints on numerous backroads. Being a mile from the county border obviously I know dozens of ways to cross the county border and avoid the Keystone Kops.

Not coming up with an excuse, don't believe anyone should be traveling for non essential reasons, and don't do so myself.Just pointing out a fact, and also excluded the fact that a member of the guards can't ask for a look at your prescription as it's classified as medical information.

As my ma was from Tramore there are plenty of graves for me to visit there, including my grandparents' graves. Which I fully intend to visit during this Level 5 nonsense.

I'm seeing a lot of people on social media who are frustrated by the likes of Tesco not being permitted to sell non-essential items such as books, DVDs and clothes (the last one being arguable enough to be fair). My thinking is that by doing so it's more fair on the small businesses which sell these items having to close? It might encourage more people to buy locally through click and collect or their their online platforms?

GT89 · 26-10-2020 01:58AM

Clothes are non essiential now in Wales and in Ireland but yet Tesco will not let someone in their shop without clothes who is trying to buy clothes in order to shop for essiential items ie. food.

Are toys essential? My local Tesco had the toy section open. I only noticed it because I could walk down the isle no bother.

They will cordoned off soon enough I'd imagine if this insanity does not end. I think if it keeps going you will be able to buy nothing in supermarket except own brand items. Communism is where we are headed.

Maybe his house caught fire and hence all his clothes were burned.

But not his mask, runners, boxers, socks and possibly his car keys and phone.
Yeah, it's a staged video, if you can't recognize that, I feel sorry for you.
Even before the pandemic, going shopping in your jocks, you would be denied entry by any respectable shop.

I know that but the point it makes is very much valid.

The point being even Pre-pandemic you had to wear clothes to go into a shop.
Regardless of whether clothes are essential or not.
If his Tesco were selling clothes despite the restrictions, he still should not be allowed into the store dressed or undressed as he is.
He didn't drop out of his mothers womb minutes before taking the video.

Yes you prove my point clothes are essential and should continue to be allowed to be sold.

Riddle me this my local dunnes had the drapery section cordoned off except for the pyjamas, homewares and underwear but turn the corner into the grocery section and the booze aisle is in full swing. So clothes are not essiential but alcohol is now I'm guessing.

I'm not saying clothes are not essential, I'm saying someone going shopping in their boxers, pandemic or no pandemic is not right.
When Wales come out of their firebrick lockdown, that guy will still not be allowed enter the store in his boxers.
