Because the first sentence of her tweet is "Businesses flouting the COVID restrictions consistently by providing covered outdoor seating and heaters." Because you go on about why doesn't she criticise cafes that allow outdoor seating when the issue isn't the seating. Businesses are allowed provide outdoor seating for temporary use, she clearly mentions the covers and heaters being the issue with regulations. So it does sound like you've a bee in your bonnet by making it out that she has an issue with some businesses having outdoor seats and not others, when she clearly says it's the outdoor covers and heaters that are the issues.

I think you missed the point about her choice of cafe - so here goes again, she publicaly called out a local business for allowing the public use outdoor seating , she also reported it to the gardai but one of her favorite cafes (her words) allow the public use their outdoor seating but she has yet to pubilcaly condemn that. In my opinion tha's two faced at least it not downright bitchiness

The seats outside are right by the door and there was another 7 or so people around the alley side standing around eating. Hardly fair to tell Spar they can't have outside seating and then allow Canteen to flout the rules because it's a public footpath/road?
mdmix wrote: » if you are talking about canteen, that's a public space. their regular outdoor seating has been removed. that spar is the only place I know of in town that is providing outdoor space, and as stated in the earlier post, they lock it away at night and open it in the morning - so they are flaunting the rules

phog wrote: » I've already stated it's on O'Connell Street and the cafe I'm talking about take in their seating and put it out again in the the morning so as you say they are flaunting the rules but the councillor doesn't seem to have an issue with it or if she does she certainly hasn't taken to twitter to voice her objections. As I say it seems to be more about who is doing it than what they're doing.

mdmix wrote: » I haven't been up that way in the evenings, but do they really leave the parasol/cover open after closing and do they leave the chairs etc outside all night? seems strange, but if they don't, then it means they are putting it out each morning.
