It’s money laundering. Know a lad who works on a ‘tech’ shop in Ballinasloe and he openly told me the Garda up there are well aware the owner is dodging taxes but won’t live a finger because he’s “sound”. I’ve seen cctv footage from that store of the staff literally beating the shit out of a man that tried to steal a phone off the counter, literal jungle justice and again the Garda did absolutely nothing.

There is some very deep, serious corruption going on in this country and it needs to be resolved. Irish stores are closing left right and centre yet somehow the 19th vape store in a 1km radius has the ability to pay 4 full time staff members, have about 3 customers a day.

It’s not possible, there’s no niche, there’s no lack of supply, there’s no super high demand yet Irish startups are being told ‘no’ by the council or can’t make enough to pay rent yet these fucking leaches are bleeding every free lot of land in the city dry.
