Officially, the name of the state is Ireland as per the constitution, Republic of Ireland is a description introduced in the Republic of Ireland Act, (1948). But you're right in an English conversation, it's not Eire.

Not sure what your angle is using it in this context, but as it is nothing to do with the Re-turn scheme, I'll leave it there.
Sound, it is shorthand - just google the image of a Eire/Ireland passport - no mention of Poblacht na hEireann.!.No it isn't, not when the rest of your post is in English it's not. It is the Republic of Ireland.

Well, shorthand would generally be a phonetic representation in a few symbols not supported by AAMSound, it is shorthand
Not in any language. Ireland or Éire, read our constitution.No it isn't, not when the rest of your post is in English it's not. It is the Republic of Ireland.
I'd be very interested to know what the additional "carbon footprint" of this scheme is - including the energy used to manufacture, transport, power and service these giant metal washing machine-like contraptions. Given that prior to this, green bins were already being collected, with plastic bottles and cans (and continue to be collected without them) there's no real energy saving on the other side of the equation.
That's the name of the football teamIt is the Republic of Ireland.
And to *ahem* tie this sub-thread back to Re-turn ... currently also in need of recycling !That's the name of the football team
To get back on topic, the machines at Aldi always work and I haven't had anything rejected.And to *ahem* tie this sub-thread back to Re-turn ... currently also in need of recycling !
Dunnes and ALDI I have had the best experiences with so far.To get back on topic, the machines at Aldi always work and I haven't had anything rejected.
I'm fascinated by how many cans and bottles people are returning. I drop off at most 5 a week before getting my shopping, but see people with massive loads. I had assumed one person was using the machine for the first time and working through a backlog, but I saw them leaving with a trolley full of small bottles of water and juice. It seems to me that educating people not to buy these products in the first place would be a better scheme.
The R symbol is on them but machine doesn’t accept them.Why ?- did you seek out the manager of Tesco to simply empty the machine of its contents. Or was there a R symbol on the bottles.
The interm period is now over since Jun1.
I've used the machine in Dealz in Drogheda. It's a bit fiddly, I had to press buttons to get through the process (including a start button, if I recall), but it worked and I got my voucher.And if anyone sees a working machines in Dealz please shout, they seem to be there for ornamentation only.
She needs to be educated. That seems complete nonsense.The R symbol is on them but machine doesn’t accept them.
The girl on till advised since from multi pack they won’t be accepted.
Literally wishing poverty on families with young children is appalling.I am hopeful that people will just be priced out of buying bottled products - eg parents buying slabs of small water bottles for daily lunches instead of larger bottles to fill up reusable ones if they can't drink tap water, bring along a reusable jug and some cordial for picnics/parties rather than loads of little bottles.
I think they're wishing that families bought 5l bottles which are exempt, and then using those to fill reusable bottles.Literally wishing poverty on families with young children is appalling.

100% not my sentiment.Literally wishing poverty on families with young children is appalling.
not what I intended. And am fully aware of the issue of lost items with kids! But in the long run reusable is not expensive and far far cheaper than paying the tax. Not everyone is buying Airups or Stanleys!When people tell you who they are, believe them.
The problem with reusable bottles for young kids is that they're expensive and easy to lose.
Jacking up the cost of disposables won't change that.
Not what I interpreted either, indeed a reusable bottle in conjunction with 5l, or even better, a filter jug would be so much cheaper in the long run. Lidl and others do cheap kids water bottles every now and then, ours aren't particularly careful but losing them isn't an issue.not what I intended.
