Photograph: Getty ImagesA Longford man has told the Workplace Relations Commission he went to a GP in Derry to get a medical cert exempting him from the face mask rules in place last summer.
He said he went to buy plums for his lunch at the grocery shop only to be stopped by an employee who told him to “wear a mask”. “I get severe distress when I wear one, I get panic attacks. Since that date [June 29th, 2021] I have got a letter from a doctor stating that I can’t wear a face covering,” he said.
“I travel all around and a lot of GPs wouldn’t give any letters around here. It doesn’t matter what excuse you had,” he said. Gardaí had come to the shop to advise them that if customers “didn’t wear a mask and they said they were exempt and they hadn’t a letter of exemption” the shop was to phone and report the matter, he said.
She said she told him that they had been advised by the gardaí that he “had to show a letter to prove he had an exemption”.“I said to him, I never asked him what was wrong with him, I didn’t want to know what was wrong with him – I just needed an exemption letter,” she said.
No reason you have to show private medical information to a shop employee. Can just anyone demand to see your medical records? Hell, no.
Yeah right he's just a sulky Facebook-group anitmasker scrote and this is a total insult to people with actual disabilities and are actual victims of discrimination. Chancer.
Always a dodgy activity the old plum shopping.

Man jailed after Kilkenny mobile home fire killingA 35-year-old man has been jailed for 11 years for killing a man by setting fire to his mobile home in Co Kilkenny almost 16 years ago. 196 previous convictions and then for burning a guy to death he gets... 11 years. You suck, Ireland. “The judge said he also took into account Kelly's age when the offence was carried out and his difficult upbringing in which there was a considerable level of drug and alcohol abuse in his family.” There’s always an excuse 🙄 196 convictions & never done any hard time. What a joke of a justice system. That poor man would still be alive if that little c*nt was in a cell where he belonged. You should not be able to rake up multiple convictions without punishment.
