SPF is an essential product not a luxury and should be VAT free
I've just signed this petition calling on Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill to remove VAT on SPF products. Will you sign too?

Having moved back from the UK in recent years this has been one of the joys to see #libraries #speirgorm (more public swimming pools next please).

The privilege of being straight is that you never have to look for these symbols. You don’t have to wait for someone to clock you or your partner, and wait to see how they’ll react.
