Is face covering mandatory in shops ?

No - it's an recommendation \ advisory only.

“It is not going to be a legal requirement and there is two reasons for that. First of all, the science around it indicates that it may be beneficial but it’s certainly no substitute for all of the other things like washing your hands, social distancing and respiratory etiquette. Secondly, there are some people who will have allergies to face masks and face coverings, and things like that, and we have to bear that in mind. It is face coverings and there will be lots of information made available to people showing how to make face coverings at home, how to use them and how not to use them.”

Dublin City Council has confirmed the following areas will reopen on Monday in light of yesterday’s announcement:
  • Allotments
  • Silloge golf course for club members and the public provided they pre-book in advance
  • Tolka Valley golf course to the public provided it’s pre-booked
  • Tennis courts, but only where there is a club to manage the courts in accordance with social distancing guidelines
  • Car parks associated with outdoor amenities
  • The Causeway Road to the Bull Island Nature Reserve to vehicles. A new dedicated cycleway along the Causeway Road will be outlined to facilitate cycling.
 
It's a good summary, but I wish they'd distinguish between actual law and mere advice. The two conflict hugely.

I find it intensely frustrating that the Statutory Instruments are not being published until the very last minute. Until, that's done, we're completely in the dark as to what's "allowed" and what's not.
