The Tánaiste said it was “totally unfair” for retailers staying open in this way and that gardaí would be enforcing legislation.

Image: TOM HONAN Image: TOM HONAN TÁNAISTE LEO VARADKAR has said he is confident that businesses will be able to reopen after six weeks of Level 5 restrictions.

“I am confident we will get back to Level 3 and a bit in December…but at the same time we need to not be complacent,” he said. Varadkar said shops should only sell items that are essential, adding that workwear is essential, but general clothing is not.

So it’s ok for Tesco to sell everything and increase their stocks of PPE!! Why bankrupt all business we just need to be sensible wear a mask sanitise and social distance. There will be no where to go when this is all over!!

Yack yack yack

And he takes the moral high ground ,without saying it but I closed everything in my lockdown he’s taking MeHole for some spin

Can stop me from buying non essential stuff on amazon

That muppet likes the sound of his own voice. If it were not for all the business in this country paying millions in taxes every year and employing people where would Leo and co get the money to run the economy and pay their big inflated salaries.

LeoVaradkar what you gonna do about it?

Leo only wants multis using loopholes and not the peasants

And its unfair to ask shops selling so called non essential items to close for no reason

Are smoothies essential? Only for self serving narcissists like himself.

Is an offence LICENCE essential? Can LeoVaradkar explain how?

Is Leo joking. I can be jailed for buying a deck of cards to keeo amused. It really is getting ridiculous and so is Leo

The Bart, The

It’s unfair that children are homeless and living in emergency accommodation and eating from cardboard on the streets

Unfair to who?

It's unfair that those imposing experimental shutdowns are not in together with those put put out of work maybe the 'we are all in this together' people should go pup payments

I get why people are annoyed, however, when the store you work for is abiding by the guidelines it is unfair. And selling the PPE is just a cop out. People are addicted to shopping in this country & if shops are open they’ll keep shopping and then what’s the point? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gyms😟?

Cos forcing elderly people to sit outside bars, restaurants in the rain and cold so they could experience social interaction was the height of intelligence and fairness.

No problem for all shops to remain open if enforcement measures on mask wearing were in place and disinfectant procedures.Number of customers in each shop could be determined by shop size & ventilation in situ.Any one queuing would have to wear masks & maintain social distance.

Yeah people who try to make a living are so selfish

It's unfair that your still trying to be relevant

Actually Irish media & LeoVaradkar are quite wrong in this - the micro managing of people lives is out of control .If you are relying in that highly suspicious 'poll' this am ,you deserve to have egg on your faces .It's pretty obvious now, who the 'haves' are, BACK OFF .

But in his defence he has a nice Bum

In all fairness Leo, don't think any shop stocks non essential items, they are all essential to somebody

Just like it was unfair on the 'wet pubs' the way they were treated in relation to the 'gastropubs'. Some of gastropublicans operated with no regard for the spirit of the Covid regulations🤬

No it's not, if you're not essential, make yourself essential.

Tanaiste need to wind his neck in and realise that what’s on his essential list might not be the same as what’s on mine !

It’s unfair for Irish businesses to diversify and think of new ways to earn a living by selling PPE ... Jesus Christ this statement is unbelievable!

What's fair about closing shops that clearly dont need to close...Delusional stuff dictating about fairness to businesses who can clearly stay open safely.

Its unfair you can fly in and out of ireland but cant go 5km in ireland 🤦‍♂️ wanker. Its unfair tony holohan has a job and turned a blind eye to cervical cancer.

Bit of trolling by Gov, me thinks.

Prick

Leo is shocked that anyone should use the letter of the law. Oh holy mother and baby!!

Everyone should sell ppe and open up

Everything should be closed it’s insane the off licences are still open it’s a fact the corona virus loves alcohol

It's 'unfair' to vote that evictions are OK during these times, but he doesn't care about that does he? We won't mention that. And we definitely won't mention the mother and baby homes. Because that's not 'unfair' to seal that up

Life’s not fair

Open them all and end this lunacy

Open the fekkin shops for god sake . No house visits....curfew to stop that but let us a earn a living!!!!

Does he admit the whole statutory instrument is unfair?

So open them all
