My local town has 3 wet pubs and the local hotel

As the hotel was allowed open people were all stuck in the one location with it jammed to the bleeding rafters.

Would it not of been better people were all spread out once the decision was made the hotel could sell alcohol ?

Would have been even better if the hotel hadn't allowed itself to get jammed to the rafters or people had a bit of common sense and gone home when it started to get busy.

Doesn't matter what was open if the places that were open were breaking the rules and the people inside them didn't give a ****.

We’re you all rounded up and shoved into the hotel bar?

I never said I was in the hotel nor did I say that people were rounded up and shoved into the hotel????

I am just saying what happened and what does happen once one establishment opens that serves alcohol while others are shut.

Have you difficulty reading ??

If you were that worried about everyone being in the once place instead of spread among four then, I dunno, maybe stay at home? You’re talking about everyone going to the hotel like it was the only option. The hotel is the main fault there too if they allowed a crowd in on top of each other.

Guess what we opened up non essential retail restaurants and pub. People partied like crazy.

What happened was some people partied like f@@k and went home for Christmas dinner. CIVID us all.over the place at present and that is down to two things pubs and people meeting for Christmas dinner

Yeah, its been like Ibiza in Ireland this last 8 months, all those pubs open and packing them in every night, couldn't swing a cat for all the sessions taking place on every street.

The whole country, partying like **** every night, I think there was even a video of it at one point a few months ago.

My word, the numbers today are horrific and deeply worrying. I think it puts to bed the frankly idiotic idea that 'wet pubs' should have been allowed open. Hospitality shouldn't have been allowed open at all tbh, and it's a certainty that figures would be even worse if even Tom, Dick, and Harry was allowed waltz into some poorly insulated hellhole for a pint of tasteless lager.

Yes numbers are high and sadly 7 people lost there lives today but the numbers dying arent the same as the first wave. And please dont go blaming the hospitality trade for the rise in numbers unless you have the figures to back it up

Dreadful news on the spread of the virus over the last while and sadly things are not looking great for the future.
Specifically relating for this thread the news that the Goat will not reopen is a blow for the area and for the trade. Thats now taken the Deerpark Inn - closed and redeveloped for housing, the Mount Merrion Inn / Kiely`s, closed and redeveloped as the Union Cafe and now the biggest blow, the Goat closed and the entire site sold to Margaret Heffernan for redevelopment as a Dunnes Stores plus car park plus some housing. While Charlie Chalk`s empire will reduce and contract thats quite a large part of South County Dublin without a pub

Can you post a link to this information about the goat grill have a few friends work there and haven't heard anything

Are you referring to Kielys in donnybrook? If so that was closed a long time before covid.

Know people who work in the goat and they've not heard anything.

While obviously adherence wasn't as high as the first lockdown, I allowed myself to believe that people were taking it seriously in the November lockdown. That is until I saw the negative reaction to Leo's comments that people shouldn't travel home and meet large numbers of people at Christmas.

When people are ringing in on the radio, saying that Leo was "out of touch" and then openly admitting that they intended on flying home from the UK and not isolating before mixing with their extended family, I knew we were f**ked. There are 1000s like them.

I miss the pubs as much as anyone but to insist that they can open in any way safely in the current environment is nonsense.

I knew the country was in trouble when October/November's lockdown was called "six weeks to save christmas". That was pretty much an open invite.

I was last in pub 19/12/2020 and am looking forward to going to pub again sometime 2021. I was talking to my southafrican cousin who has an offwork dose of C19 and in Southafrica they have curfew and no alcohol sales. If our gov was serious we should try a circuitbreaker 3-week prohibtion era close offliences as nonessential and shut the aclohol supermarket sections and see if it helps reduce spread...

Half of my neighbours are visiting each other daily in breach of guidelines for cups of tea and coffee. Should we shut down the the tea and coffee aisle in supermarkets and ban sales?

Trust me we wont get rumbled. We aint teenagers or youngsters who are going to post pictures on social media. We are just a couple of guys in our 40s/50s who enjoy a few pints and games of pool. We need something to do to get away from the wives and kids

There was a 36 hour rave in France over the New Years. Stop saying Irish are partying like no one else is around the world.

Ya but just sick of the treads on here like oh the Irish can’t control themselves as if no one else in the world is doing it.

People everywhere are sick sh*t of these restrictions. I socialize a good bit during December, no one I socialized with got Covid since.

Potentially doing harm to every person you’re going home to, every person they see, and it goes on from there.

Well in that case old buddy I look forward to seeing you post around Easter at the earliest. Be sure to dispose of the evidence of your fun and games carefully and remember the hills have eyes and the walls have ears.:);):pac:

Another snitch who would report someone to the guards. Look pal you hide yourself under the bed. Someone will give you a shout when this pandemic is over. By the way i am sure we might squeeze a session in on Paddys day or even before it

Better off having the pubs open with strict regulations. 25% capacity or the likes.

Shhhh don`t be stating things like that on here. None of that matters .The most important thing is that Saviola and his buddies have their fun and games.
