Thanks for your response Federico.
It is responsive in that it is only 1 single design but it is 3 different groups of navigational links all pointing to exactly the same urls. So 3 links pointing to each category and product page. Essentially it's navigation x3. As the responsive design shifts to accommodate tablets/mobiles the desktop navigation hides and is replaced by the previously hidden mobile or tablet navigation. So there are necessarily 3 lots of on page links. I'm hoping there's either a tag that can cater for this to append to the extra links OR perhaps someone will suggest that 'too many' is OK if they're legitimate, non spammy and user essential links. Hope that makes sense!
