A non mask-wearing woman disputed that there was a pandemic, asking “where are all the sick people?” when told she was required to put on a mask at a Supermac's plaza at Kinnegad in Co Westmeath.
Supermac’s retail and forecourt manager at the Kinnegad Plaza, Joey Baker told a Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) hearing that he pointed out to Geraldine Fitzmaurice options how she could be served other than being in the restaurant without a mask via the drive-through in her car or through a hatch at the Spar part of the Kinnegad Plaza.
In the incident on May 6 2021, Mr Baker explained that Ms Fitzmaurice began shouting and roaring and claimed that she was being treated like a third-class citizen.
