Subway bread isn’t bread, Irish court says

used to sabotage the former Member of Parliament for Hanover Western, Ian Hayles, and the People’s National Party (PNP) in the September 3 General Election.

It is no secret that the mayor and Hayles have had their differences over issues concerning the stewardship of their respective offices.

It is also the second time in recent years that a Pnp-led Administration is being embroiled in a similar smear campaign.

In August of 2014, the then mayor of Lucea, Shernet Haughton, resigned following allegations of nepotism, corruption and maladministration.

On March 23, 2015 the Office of the Contractor General, following investigations, tabled in the House of Representatives findings of a case of nepotism, favouritism and conflicts of interest on the part of Haughton in the awarding of contracts.

However, Haughton, who was later charged with misconduct in a public office and breaches of the public sector procurement regulations of 2008, was freed in the Hanover Parish Court in May 2019. The court has ruled that she had “no case to answer”.

LONDON, England (AP) — Ireland’s Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold by the fast food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread.

The ruling came in a tax dispute brought by Bookfinders Ltd, an Irish Subway franchisee, which argued that some of its takeaway products, including teas, coffees and heated sandwiches, were not liable for value-added tax.

A panel of judges rejected the appeal last Tuesday, ruling that the bread sold by Subway contains too much sugar to be categorised as a “staple food”, which is not taxed.

“There is no dispute that the bread supplied by Subway in its heated sandwiches has a sugar content of 10 per cent of the weight of the flour included in the dough, and thus exceeds the two per cent specified,” the judgement read.

The law makes a distinction between “bread as a staple food” and other baked goods “which are, or approach, confectionery or fancy baked goods”, the judgement said.

Bookfinders was appealing a 2006 decision by authorities who refused to refund value-added tax payments. Lower courts had dismissed the case before it reached the Supreme Court.

The number of deaths from COVID-19 remains at 58. Vermont has not seen a COVID-19 fatality in over two months.

The travel data, updated weekly by Vermont Commissioner of Financial Regulation Michael Pieciak, showed the smallest number of people who can travel to Vermont without quarantining since a system was set up in June to determine who can safely visit.

Now about 2.9 million people from across the Northeast, whose counties have COVID-19 rates of 400 active cases per million or less, are eligible to visit the state without quarantining. When the system was set up in June about 11.5 million people were eligible to visit the state.
