-they clog it up with useless twat-
That word has a variety of meanings, from the innocent to the very vulgar.
Luternau said:IMHO Henry St is better place without them-they clog it up with useless twat-so of which is conterfeit and then they leave all their rubbish behind them.
Source? It's pretty obvious that cheap fags are smuggled, but are the bananas in Moore St really counterfeit?The fact that much of the product sold by street traders in Dublin city centre is counterfeit and/or smuggled is also an issue that deserved public scrutiny, since it is a major source of income for organised criminals.

Shop around - these days you can pick your own without the oul wans biting your arm off (well mostly!) and you can get good quality stuff if you are careful.No...but they are certainly not selling todays fruit today-Its amazing to see the traders picking through their stalls and throwing away the rotten ones-just the rotten ones. I think they buy whats not sold from previous days from the fruit market.

If you find Lidl fruit & veg cheaper than the stalls then you are looking in the wrong place! Plenty of stalls sell stuff that is as good quality and better value than the shops.Would not buy fruit from them-go to the etnetic shops or Lidl-better quality, and cheaper!
They don't have to. There is an exemption for bags used to store fresh food. Many of them don't bother giving you a bag if you have one already. Seems reasonable to me.They dont charge the bag levy either.
I was in Tescos yesterday, and the person in front asked for one of those 'lifetime' shopping bags. I was rather surprised to see that the bag came wrapped in another plastic bag! This outer bag was immediately thrown away at the till.They dont charge the bag levy either.
Does this apply to bread also, e.g. loose bread rolls? our local supermarket started charging for these recently.There is an exemption for bags used to store fresh food.
But I presume that the levy does not prebent individual shops from unilaterally choosing to charge whatever they like for whatever bags they might provide as long as they divulge the price and don't make out that it's a Government levy when it's not?Is the levy be charged on all types of plastic bags?
No. Certain types of plastic bags are excluded from the levy, as set out in the Regulations. Broadly the exclusions cover re-usable shopping bags which are sold for 70 cents or more, bags used to contain fresh meat, fish or poultry (whether packaged or otherwise), bags used to contain loose fruit and vegetables and other foods that are not otherwise packaged and bags used to contain ice. Plastic bags used to contain goods or products sold on board an aircraft or ship, and in an area of a port or airport to which intending passengers are denied access unless in possession of a valid ticket or boarding card, are also excluded from the levy.
Doubt it but try it and let us know how you get on.Does it mean that if you arrive at the checkout with armfuls of unbagged food that fits the description of 'fresh' could you demand the large bags tax-free?
How and where exactly did he do this?Getting back to the original post, Joe Costello showed an interesting side to his character when he came out in favour of street traders avoiding tax.
