Pub/Restaurant owners Bar LAB/FG TDs

    I think Pub/Restaurant owners should ask FG/Lab TDs leave their premises over Christmas should they wish to frequent their business. I think it would be very popular with the people and also send out a signal to the government that if they refuse to serve us- the people, we will not serve them. Exclude them from society like they do so so many. Thank you

    Thanks for your comment. No one asked you to comment. If the topic doesn't interest you, just ignore it. Do you comment on every post that doesn't interest you? May I suggest you start a thread about your general disinterest in things rather than expressing it on other peoples posts who do have an interest and have taken the time to write a post

    The comment was not at the op, it was a statment in which is heard from bouncers saying all the time, sorry not tonight, you had enough! Now to the op's statement boucers should say to the TD's WE HAD ENOUGH.
    Now climb back down, off that high horse of yours.

    I see, I do apologise, I was a little over zealous

    I liked your comment from comical sense, but could not be implemented due to this being an act of discrimination against one's profession. Love to be in a pub to see it happen. Drinks all night for that bar person

    Charge them property tax on the glass and stool

    I think under the whole "Management reserve the right to refuse admission" laws they would have good grounds not to serve certain people, should it be deemed that those who are being served could "damage" the reputation and potential profitability of the business. That law is very vague in favour of publicans to protect them from having to serve 'undesirables' . Pubs are rarely prosecuted (if ever) when they refuse to serve a traveller. ( I know, I am opening a can of worms)

    But in a simpler form, people frequenting the same places as Tds could make them feel very unwelcome. Seen it being done whilst in a Dublin restaurant when a group of Fianna Fail TDs entered and were almost hissed off the premises

    But you would really like to tell them the truth on this one!

    They are loads of FG members who own pubs

    So they'll just go there instead ;)

    I'd love to see a TD try to prosecute a local bar or restaurant for not serving the or telling them they are not welcome, it would be win/win for the business owner. People would flock to support the premises . I would be their best customer!

    Yuck, imagine drinking it that pub. It be like getting drunk at mass, but where the priests out number parishioners- the lechery would be incalculable

    Too true, free pint to anyone identifying a TD. It be nearly worth leasing a pub and setting up a TD for a fall, love it. Daft.ie here i come

    MAybe we should just make them wear badges identifying them as TD's, then they could be rounded up and made to live in ghettos - at least then we'd know they were all in the same place and we'd be safe.

    I like this idea. I'd even go one further and make then ring a bell to announce their presence

    Can we make them wear a badge?

    Theres no such law about discrimination on the basis of profession

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
