Worrying. These nail bars are on every main street in every town and city in Ireland. Whilst charging top dollar for services, many seem to operate on a cash only basis. They often operate seven days a week and open for long hours during the day. Who regulates them?😮
Have you visited one of those nail bars mushrooming up all over the place recently, and concluded the reason the non-Irish "nail technician", frequently a man, is wearing a mask, is for hygiene purposes? Not at all, it's to discourage you from engaging in conversation with what may well be a trafficked person. So says Garda Detective Chief Superintendent Thelma Watters in this new @GardaInfo podcast, from 20:00 onwards for this specific passage. youtube.com/watch?v=QtQ83-90… Is anyone joining the dots between traffickers charging people €25,000 to get to Ireland, to non-EU work permits, to Workplace Relations Commission inspections (which have dropped off under enterprise minister Peter Burke)?
