    They do? What do they do differently during those hours?

    Dimmed lights. No announcements or music on the shop intercom

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    My local one is my least favourite place to shop and I do find it very meltdown inducing. I actually think it's the lay out and the smells on top of the sounds. I must try during spectrum friendly hours to see if that makes it easier to shop in (I have sensory processing issues)

    I really need to look into this, thanks. I wish clothing stores would do the same.

    Their website has sensory maps for their stores too

    They should do that all the time.

    At my local Dunnes they roar into the feckin' microphone "SUPERVISOR TO AISLE FOUR" or whatever at the top of their voice, it's actually painful sometimes.

    The really loud crap music is their way of telling people they're too old to shop there :eek:

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Just drove past the criminal courts of justice a group of what I assume were Gemma's clowns outside waving tricolours about. What ridiculous thing are they getting worked up about today I wonder?

    I came home once and my Mum stopped off at SuperValu on the way home and it was just horrifying. Nobody was shopping and everybody was just talking.

    The guy who got booted from Super Valu in Ballymun was up in court today.

    Videos here of crazy Dee trying to barge into the court to share her vast legal knowledge.

    There was a time these loons were literally locked up.

    Unfortunately not any more.

    Wouldn't be surprised if she was on some "disability" payment herself.

    lol, thought so.

    And does the dept not find it interesting how she is getting around and harassing actual fcuking workers in the country on what seems like a daily basis?

    Got nothing better to do than verbally assault store workers?

    You'd think the welfare dept would call her in for a chat.

    What a specimen for so much of what is wrong with our crazy system that allows this.

    That man is just doing his job and this spanner has nothing better to do, only harass him and others.

    "She's a human being, that's belonging to this country"
    (to a Garda), "I'm not under you, you have no control over me"


    Jesus H. Christ she does some amount of contradicting herself....
    What a horrible despicable human being.


    Seriously, its for people like her I wish we had an underground secret police type force that could simply 'disappear' people, never to be seen again...

    Seemingly acting like a total lunatic (and being known for it) gets you some sort of sympathy and immunity.

    She claims to be Irish to the core but doesn't respect the laws and citizens of this country. As for that man who appeared in court, could he not wear a visor instead??

    Surely she should be arrested on some Public Order offence?
    I just looked up what that covers on the Citizens information website and she looks to me to be breaking a number of them.

    The guards seem afraid of her for some reason though.

    So let me get this straight: homeless people are being kidnapped and held against their will in a warm, dry cell underneath the criminal court and not allowed back out to sleep on the streets till they submit to the brutal horror of a nasal swab? Is that what she was screaming about?
