Worried for the young staff at local @SPARIreland. Could you highlight this please? They are being exploited. Told me if they don’t show up, they’ll lose their jobs, but no sanitiser/no disinfectant sprays for counters. Zero protection @seanwhelanRTE @tconnellyRTE @TodaySOR #Spar – at Dublin City, Ireland
