@JillianBolger @MaryMc_31 @irishexaminer Budds in Ballydehob for cake & coffee, Arundels of Ahakista for pints & chips, O’Sullivans in Crookhaven for pints, Audley cove for a swim, the Fish Basket at Long Strand, Mannings in Ballylickey for food & great wine selection. It’s a pretty long list but these are key spots.

Where are your favourite places to visit in West Cork? Am looking for tips on best beaches, walks, cafés, views, picnic spots, activities, attractions, restaurants, accommodation, bakeries, shops etc. If you live or holiday there please share your tips for an @irishexaminer story

There are many flaws with the deposit return scheme and @BeerMessiah outlines one of them here. Expect fewer choices and smaller beer ranges in your supermarket and off-licence fridges.

We are delighted to announce that Saba has collaborated with @SimplyBetterDS to craft a range of Thai sauces, pastes, coconut milk and condiments. This exclusive range of 12 products was launched today at @idealhomeshow The range will be available in Dunnes nationwide early May.

@KarlBrophy @IrishRail You’d better get the helicopter serviced.

Have just realised that @IrishRail have no DARTs going from the southside to the north side on the one day that half the southside wants to go to the northside. Beautiful.

🇦🇺 On an Australian note.
Who stocks Vegemite online in Ireland apart from Mr Bells (OOS) and Tesco (not possible in West Cork)?

@returnireland Having a Mandatory Logo is seriously damaging my business - I am faced with de-listing 90%+ of the canned beers that I import.
Other businesses are affected as well - @8degreesbrewing are faced with over-stickering 460,000 cans at MASSIVE COST.

@returnireland @MaiaDunphy Hi @returnireland
It is great that you have replied to Maia.
Could you do me the favour of answering my questions.
They show that the Re-Turn Logo is OPTIONAL during Transition, and I request you make the Logo OPTIONAL permanently.

@returnireland I'm not "sharing feedback", I'm asking reasonable questions. You are refusing to answer these questions @returnireland How about "Yes" or "No" questions? @returnireland - All you have to do is reply to each of the following tweets with a "Yes" or "No" - #NOReTurnLOGO (01/14)

Re the new deposit return scheme, what happens to unclaimed deposits? The supermarkets will make a killing out of this. 🤔

An optional Re-Turn logo means less time wasted in sticking labels on 460,000 pre-printed cans. It takes 2 people x 1 full day to put DRS stickers on 2,000 cans.
Why so many cans in stock? Unlike big producers, microbreweries need to order large volumes long before they're used.

LISTEN BACK Small Changes In Deposit Return Scheme Would Make A Big Difference @pjcoogan talks to @BeerMessiah Dean McGuinness, a craft brewer and beer expert about how problems with the DRS could be solved so simply shows.acast.com/corks-96-fm-op…

@richardosman @phlaimeaux Apologies for any offence caused 😂. Thanks for the press though.
English
@phlaimeaux Oh that's horrific. Full stop after 'Treats'. Turn the S into 'S -it' and then just use the & as an &. That has really upset me.
English
It’s a mess, competition in the market is going to massively reduce, loads of brands are going to exit the market. Only the big players are going to win if the existing labelling requirements stay in place.

The Chief Executive of Re-Turn has said that despite initial "teething issues" during the first month of the Deposit Return Scheme, people are now getting used to it rte.ie/news/2024/0304…

Please - if you are talking to your public representatives - ask them to put pressure on Re-Turn to make the Re-Turn logo OPTIONAL on containers.

We have 460,000 pre printed cans that need these stickers applied. It takes 2 people x 1 full day to put DRS stickers on 2,000 cans

Damien Sreenan@damiensreenan
Smaller producers have to manually put little #DepositReturnScheme logos on bottles as from the middle of March retailers are not allowed accept stock in without them The machines read the barcodes which all work and the logo actually does nothing. This is crazy

The lads on the line this morning, re-stickering printed cans that won't work in the new #DepositReturnScheme - it's either that or scrap them. We're all for recycling, but this is now how to do it.

@UnaMcCaffrey Just caught the last few minutes. So much confusion.
English
@RoryEnglish A lot of discontent being aired on Liveline just now.

Would have been good if the vouchers had been shop-neutral.
‘If you drop your bottles or cans into your local Tesco, the voucher will be for Tesco. If you do the necessary in Aldi, you get an Aldi voucher.’

The answers here just highlight the level of confusion with re-turn scheme.
English
@UnaMcCaffrey Very. Also removes competition and variety. Not thought through.
English
@RoryEnglish Yeah, that’s the issue, isn’t it? The will to make it work is there but the tools are very clunky.
