There is nothing about pubs in that article, more of a reference to a wider reopening in general.

I know, I have a times subscription, but I suspect pth is getting mad at headlines again.

Also

Dr Glynn said Ireland was “weeks away from having the population vaccinated and [we] do not want to go backwards”. He said he “never again” wants to recommend measures to Government that close things down.

But..... But......nphet hate hospitality.

It does seem like NPHET want to kill the normal pubs.
They have a clear anti-alcohol agenda and this is their chance to influence things to keep these closed as long as they possibly can and for good if possible.
If they can replace them with gastro pubs possibly this is what they are hoping for in the end.

As time goes by and anger intensifies, more people are probably going to agree with this. But I don't think there's any truth to it. I love pubs as much as the next man, and it's just an unfortunate truth that the conditions in pubs pertain to transmission of the virus. Just like concerts, attending matches, etc. do. However, I don't think NPHET are being accused of having an agenda against those industries? Even though they have been suspended for as long as pubs have.

Anyway, all going according to plan, we'll all be vaccinated by the end of the summer and ready to rock and roll once more.

"the conditions in pubs pertain to transmission of the virus" - do you have any data to back this up?
With the restrictions they had in place last year for the brief time that pubs were open there is no reason why they could not be in place now.
There are plenty of other countries where bars are open.

The places I was in last Aug/Sep/Oct were well prepared and had good restrictions in place.

Just thinkng the same, perhaps PTH could remind us of this particular question about alcohol and covid?

Tony holohan definitely said "the virus loves Alcohol" but the idea that he grinned from ear to ear like a cartoon wolf as the chance to take a dig at his mortal enemy alcohol was presented is just the latest in pths weird delusions about a man he's never met.

He seemed very chuff talking about it because it was negative towards alcohol

His cadence tone and body language do not change at all, and he admits to enjoying a pint himself....

You're seeing something that's not there because you think Tony holohan is directly responsible for you not being able to get a pint.....

I meant pubs without restrictions. Obviously that's what we all want here. Who wants to sit at a table on their own drinking a pint brought down to them from the bar, with no music, no loud TV, or no interactions. You hardly need data to show that pubs without restrictions are conducive to spreading of the virus?

Think it just about fair use to mention the quotes it contains:

• "We're not there yet"
• "weeks away from having the population vaccinated and do not want to go backwards"
• "It is our job to be conservative"

It is the last of these that really stands out. A lot of article is about the blood clotting issue.

surely they will have to legally get back to opening concerts , gigs and nightclubs by autumn 2021 if people are all vaccinated. id say legally they wouldnt have much of a leg to stand on with everyone vaccnated by october even teens.like why on earth would you not give the go ahead for lower capacity venues like vicar st and whelans? theres a whole industry there that they have to give a chance to. nightclubs are the same bracket as gigs in venues like i mentioned. they have to be given the green light once people are vaxxed

You are very naive, I remember you turbo Normies predicting last Christmas that most things would be open by late April. Covid 21 will prevent normality returning

is_that_so

Somewhere between the inception of this post and the writing of it all meaning was lost!

The virus loves indoor settings, it loves close contact between people, and it loves alcohol. And if we give it the opportunity it will transmit very very quickly and that’s what we are seeing.”

Is what he said incorrect?

Batattackrat

I'd love a high stool right now talking ****e with all the locals, oul lads and friends :(:(:(

Open them up to feck, cant take much more of this :(

Having a few cans with friends is not the same, sick to the teeth of each other at this stage

Dickie10

surely when the likes of gigs with 200 plus people start agin, nightclubs will start too? i dont attend the likes of vicar st or that much but love clubs. really miss them

Yes and I just said that I expect NI to follow suit on April 12th. Shall we come back to that then given current numbers and reconvene this conversation?

Ready to reconvene? Are NI pubs opening on Monday?

Pubs still closed hopefully they'll be reopened in time for Sam7...

Missed Leinster as didnt have tv coverage but a sensational ride by Rachel on Minellatimes albeit Walsh had some badluck in runing

I'd love if the gov reopens bookies and pubs and closes the MHQs

Nice double ðŸ˜

On the UK news there that some pubs in England opened at midnight last night, on the minute.

Fair play, some craic I'd say.
