Exactly. Its why the pub owners are not going mental. They are receiving a % of previous revenue with very little costs. Their staff are all on pup..dont need stock....commercial rates paused e.t.c while I'm sure they would like to be open they arent pushing it as they are being looked after.

All publicans should be worried about is how drinking habits have changed. People are now going to other people's houses and will realise the money saved in the pocket the longer this goes on.

Did you read what I said depending on previous income. Let's take a rural pub in Clare for example, their income for the month might be 5k how they are getting 700 a week plus income supplement. It's a no brainer. Also every city center pub is getting the 5k a week no doubt

There getting 10% of weekly taking for 2019.

Yea pubs are minted now getting that 10%

Why is construction still partly closed? The UK and Israel didn't have a 5km or county travel restriction either. By that metric, we are 'doing our own thing'.

Not sure what your point is but yeah that was the point. We're doing are own thing. But apparently that's not good enough - and we should open up "now"!

But to digress ' afaik the 5km was gone last time I checked. Construction on major infrastructure and residential projects is now open. And if I remember correctly- the UK had stay at home and exercise local restrictions. And Israelis were not allowed to leave their homes unless absolutely necessary. 

But back to the original point about people who demand we should open up 'now' - what's your take on that?

Btw as an aside- Interesting you mentioned construction btw. Apparently the Intel site has been reported as having a significant confirmed outbreak with the number of confirmed cases having risen today to 85.

The Irish variant, no vaccine will help, only cure is an utter annihilation of the economy, destruction of the populations mental health and an infinite lockdown.

They'll be open long before September.

Beer gardens in June or sooner, and indoor from July.


There not gonna keep us locked up all summer for fear of some variant that the vacinne is not 90% effective against in winter.

75% of counties should be at level 2 right now.

If you took Dublin out of the equation our numbers are excellent.

My social anxiety is worse than ever as as a result of lockdown. I had it in the past but its gone back to been worse than it ever was.

I just want to get into my regular routine again, probably take me a few months to get out of it when we are back to normal.

Few outdoor pints was torturous 2nite with friends.

Your implying, with great confidence I may add, something that you have completely made up and the very opposite of what’s being said by those in authority

They will keep us locked up without issue “just in case”

The fact they still believe case numbers hold relevance with vulnerable and HCWs vaccinated will be an indication of the path the rest of the year will follow.

You can't understand why numbers are higher when you cram 30% of the population into 8% of the space?

And your point is?
They don't force inbound travelers to spend 1900e per person in a hotel.
Masks indoor and out seems to be their biggest issue but I suspect you'll say it's just as bad there as it is here.
And re the weather, if Ireland had the same summer weather, do you believe the mood would be better?
Or do you just berate anyone that doesn't believe things are that bad to keep everything closed?

So your link says their shops bars and restaurants are a open and many areas are gone back to normality, but hey Germany restrictions are increasing so it could be worse for us. Your posts are getting more deluded by the night.

What is there to be optimistic about, we have the tightest restrictions in Europe, we have cowards in government, Tony is back now and it won't suit his ego to ease restrictions so we are ****ed.

Numbers should have context. But no they are just thrown out there and people don’t read beyond the headline figure. And then they start panicking.

Zero chance of this happening. September after schools go back is way more likely and if doesn’t happen in September then start looking at 2022.

Last summer the messaging was they didn’t want to jeopardise the schools returning

Expect the same again

Getting the “R number” back below one would give the Government the best possible chance to reopen schools in late August and to resume essential healthcare, he said.

There is no hope for Ireland

Those who can will work here but socialise abroad

MOR316

The Euros aren't until the end of June...
Government think it's risky putting people within 4 or 5 seats of one another, outside, at the end of June...

Having a laugh if people think they'll open up this summer
