To mask or not to mask

[john m]

Mr Martin said the order making face coverings mandatory on public transport will be signed this evening and it comes into effect on Monday......Lets see if taxies are included ?

[Pugwat]

Nobody is going to enforce it. Bus drivers said not my baby.

Free Now asked you to take a pledge 2 passenger max and clean the car after every trip .If you fail to clean the car between trips and somebody with the fever has traveled in your car and the Tell me app records that a person was in your motor .If another passenger who traveled in your car catches it after wards you might have to prove you actually cleaned the car or be Corporately responsible for the cross infection .Might cost you your Gaff if you were sued for breach of contract as you have agreed to clean between trips and the person booking can rely on your commitment

Do you ever notice the roster on the back of the Pisser door in the pub and how it is signed every hour or half hour .The idea behind that is so the Publican can say he checks the Pisser regularly and if somebody falls and tries to sue because they slipped on a puddle of piss the Publican and his insurers can say the pub is not responsible as they took reasonable precautions to make sure the Pisser was safe to use .

Let's suppose a passenger got the pox from your car, even though you cleaned it, are you to prove you cleaned it then? Video evidence after every fare you got out and cleaned it? Suppose its 4am of a Friday night on Halloween in cushlawn, would you get out to clean it? Ye would in your bollo. Suppose you're driving down the road looking for a safe place to pull in to videotape your cleansing activities and you get flagged to pull in. Do you stop and let them in or do you stop, clean your car whilst video taping it or do you just keep cruising even though the last fare was only 30 seconds in your car and didn't talk let alone cough, splutter or god forbid sneeze. Do you drive by the fare because you didn't blitz your car for the 3rd time in an hour in the pissing rain? Decisions decisions.

Pony lads will click on the Free Now pledge without thinking if it has any legal status .Mary Cullen who was third runner up in the Mary From Dunlough contest in 1976 .Was looking for a taxi and chose Free Now pledge car based on the advertisement .Now if she got the fever and can trace it back to the taxi as she never goes anywhere else but to visit the Girl who won the contest .If the driver cannot prove he cleaned the motor in line with his pledge he could be in the crapper bit like a chef who states that his menu does not contain nuts but does as he never checked just said it did to increase sales .

 Might not just be taxies if there is an outbreak in a Pub and they didnt keep a record of customers they too could be in the Crapper .Its only a matter of time the ambulance chasers will be trying to make up for the lack of traffic accident claims Covid Court will be big business .

Can anybody find a copy of the SI .Does it include Taxis?.....The government signalled last month that the use of face coverings on public transport would become mandatory, following criticism that passengers on trains, buses and the Luas were not using face coverings while travelling.

Going to mass this morning with Big Dommo and the lads as we wait for the Porter Shop to open to get an allday breakfast and a pint .But first we are going to form a Posse and head out to try to find the legislation that was signed on friday night making facemasks Mandatory on Public transport .A day and a half after it was signed and nobody has seen it yet or knows what is in it .Big Dommo recons if it was a bench warrant it would be signed and you would be sitting in a Cell in the Bridewell or Kevin Street within half a day .How the fuck can you ren a business if you dont know the rules /laws .

[dalymount]

Somehow I cant imagine you and Dommo at mass

There is a likelihood that Taxis will have been overlooked and not considered when drafting this legislation, if, as has been the case heretofore the government simply say the regulations apply to all  "public transport" which the media will then interpret to mean Buses and trains, meanwhile the NTA will include Taxis, Limos. private coach firms as they know these are part of "public Transport", then we are left in a Limbo, knowing we are included in the regulation, while the public are oblivious to that fact.
It would be better if the Government specify which parts of public transport are and are not included, for example Private coaches, Taxis. Limos etc. .... but they won't, and John will stupidly suggest this proves we are not public transport, which we obviously are, all it proves is that we are the forgotten sector of public transport.

Once again Roy you are reading things the way you want them to be read TAXIS are not PUBLIC SERVICE VEHICLES if they are the government will include them .Lets see the regs .
