Can't help but be very concerned about the sharp upward trend in hospitalisations when looking at the 7 day average. 77% of cases Delta variant.

Looking more and more like we'll see a tightening of restrictions rather than an easing. A shame. A lot of irresponsible publicans serving takeaway pints with no care as to the consequences have only themselves to blame in my opinion. A shame.

:pac::pac:

I actually pity you. Imagine being scared of this thing.

While NPHET and MM quake at the threat of a mild flu Northern Ireland pubs can have music back on from Monday.

I pray MM gets sued for every cent he has and ends up living in a hostel on Gardiner St.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Mods please move if so.

Hello all - quick Q. What is the go in Dublin City centre re. pubs at present and how easy is it to get a seat outside? Do you have to book pubs too like restaurants?

I have to meet someone later and I'd like to head to a pub in town with outdoor awning/rain proof etc but I don't want to get in to find we are turned away from everywhere. I know Bradys in Terenure you have to have a booking for out back in their beer garden.

Any advice from people who have been going in for a drink in town on a weekend recently?

Thanks a mill.

Most of capel st is walk up only, porterhouse on Nassau st as well, the Murray's/fibbes/living room triangle is 50/50 I think.

It'll be busy, but you'll get something

All this talk of the pubs opening indoors on the 19th for the full vaxxed or a negative test. Will these tests be subsidised or can you go to one of the walk in centres for free.Also aren't they only valid for 72 hrs, could prove very expensive depending how often you go out.
Any thoughts.

Tests have always been free.

They are not free when you are travelling abroad.

The fundamental flaw in the system is Ireland not having any actual certification system in place, and probably never will. Just getting an ordinary passport is 16 months and counting..

Certainly not free, I see from another thread here, we'll soon have spent half a billion euros on them so far (over a hundred euros for every man, woman and child)

Last year I saw US figures re Covid spread. May not relate to here exactly but it showed that Bars were the second highest source of Covid infection.

You know well that’s not what was meant in the original question.

At Christmas. When shops are jammed, airports are fully of people coming home, people are visiting each other in droves, but in your mind the only contributing factor was pubs? Lol.

Meanwhile, during the summer hospitality opened with nothing else much changing at the same time.
July 3rd, end of first week of being open. 7-day average was 12
July 24, three weeks later. 7-day average was ...... 16

And that's despite the fact that the number of tests rose 250% over the same period.

Exactly, that's "NPHET Science" Pubs bad cause cases...

nothing to do with the fact that people were going to each others homes, staying indoors due to restrictions.. and winter also so people go outdoors less anyways.. but yea lets blame a well regulated hygienic pub/restaurant environment.. Only in Ireland!

Pubs did not open in summer

This is what's happening in an area where the pubs are open now as they essentially are using north to socialise and cases are going crazy and it'not shops etc as they are open in south so reason cases are high is direct result of pubs in north being visited by people around donegal

I'm talking about summer 2020, when the same hospitality opened as opened in December 2020 which you're claiming was the cause of the increase at Christmas.

Or you were - you've now moved on to an article from last weekend which has absolutely nothing to do with pubs in this country. You seem to be once again deciding that pubs are the issue, although the only mention in the entire article is a single vague sentence claiming that "people have enjoyed indoor hospitality in Derry". Which, last time I checked, was not in the Republic.

Eh, no. Think you will find that was because MM did absolutely nothing, not a bit, to prevent tens of thousands of Irish expats returning from London at a time when an estimated 1 in 30 Londoners had contracted the Kent variant. Borders should have closed but nah, "mUh mEntAl hEaLth!" cried the London lot.

A decision for which Martin should be in prison, and the names of every single entitled gobshyte who came back infected should be published in the national media. They set us back 7 plus months.

Frankly I believe our Taoiseach was manipulated by figures who wanted the virus to spread. You know who they are.

The contrast in the hate campaign against the people who attended Cheltenham vs the ones who came home from London is baffling. Just your usual rich people hatred.

Have you got evidence to show them 2000 cases a day were linked to hospitality

To be fair the stats for Covid sources were very suspect as in only 1% cases related to travel last year! People don't tell the truth and also what they couldn't pin into a category was entered as 'Community transmission'

Well only that they went down when pubs were closed again
