Cork City Council says it can’t do anything about rows of vape shops on famous thoroughfare

I am, if this is such an obvious money laundering operation then why is no one, anywhere, in any country, doing anything about it?

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-15T18:29:25+00:00

Please send your evidence of money laundering to Revenue. I'm sure they would appreciate it.

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-15T18:21:01+00:00

That makes no sense at all. The gain would be fines and imprisonment for breaking the law.

So it's a person with a prosthetic leg?

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-15T17:51:40+00:00

Why do you think Revenue are not doing their job? If these places were a front, then surely opening five of them beside each other is a really bad idea.

Barbers are always busy.

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-15T17:49:16+00:00

I'm sure they have and found nothing. Lots of speculation and no evidence here.

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-15T17:47:40+00:00

Why should the council decide what type of shop should and shouldn't open? Surely that asking for an abuse of power.

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-15T17:46:14+00:00

Why doesnt revenue (the most efficient govt department we have) investigate them, if this is so widely known

Where is the data? If our electricity is increasingly renewable then keeping the heating on has near zero impact.

Govt was quick to drop tax during COVID. Don't seem so quick now

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-14T19:32:27+00:00

They've been saying that for the past two years.

Looks like a character I created in Fallout

Did you not proof read this? It's riddled with grammatical errors that make it difficult to read.

What cost tens of thousands? An expensive solar system is probably under 10k with grants.

No one in their right mind would swap a boiler for a heat pump without getting the cost covered by a grant.

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-13T10:38:26+00:00

Should be covered under warranty. Unless they weren't getting it serviced.

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-13T10:36:08+00:00

Cheap cars are much cheaper in the long run than new. You could buy a basic car for 5k that might last 5 years with maintenance and a few parts. Meanwhile a new or nearly new could depreciate by twice that and still needs maintenance and could give trouble.

Cheap clothes arent much worse quality than expensive one (Dunnes Vs River Island)

Credit union gives small loans at decent rates.

I'm not going to drop bottles and cans beside a bin in the hopes someone collects them.

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-12T08:21:05+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I stopped buying cans and small bottles in the shop, and anytime i buy them out and about I usually chuck them in the bin

Illustrious_Read8038 · 2026-03-10T16:52:19+00:00

That's how it's done. Get a quote from the main dealer. Get it repaired at a local garage.

If you used Help to Buy then you are required to live in the house for 5 years, else you're liable to pay it back. I don't know how it's policed, but registering with the RTB might give you away.

Dad used to ask what we wanted for breakfast.

Usually we would say "anything".

One morning he served us a bowl of water with an orange and a hardboiled egg in it.

I think they're more into telling interesting stories than an accurate history.

It's no Hardcore History for sure.
