Remember from today, face masks are compulsory on public transport and public transport companies are reporting a high compliance rate for the new face covering regulations. Passengers departing and arriving at Thurles Railway Station in Co. Tipperary are 95% compliant, according to Irish Rail staff. Same regulation compliance is assisted in the knowledge that fines of up to €2,500, as well as a possible six months jail sentence can be the future for those who refuse to wear face coverings on public transport; but of course there will always be Donald J. Trumps who sadly fly in the face of basic logic and professional advice.
