    Reardens, Voodoo Rooms, The Oliver Plunkett, Grand Central Social, and Liberty Grill all closed until further notice.

    The Bróg, East Village, Rossini’s, Spitjack, Clancy’s and East Village are all open but operating under strict capacity and distancing rules.
    I know they’ve removed a lot of tables from Spitjack & Rossini’s to create more space between guests.
    The doormen on the door of the Bróg and East Village have clickers and are not letting the capacity go over 100 patrons.

    There will be a lot more of this to come I’d say. It’s going to be a strange few weeks in the hospitality industry.

    This actually boggles the mind, how stupid it is.

    The ones that are closed now should be operating with 100 people capacity because they are larger premises.

    The ones that are open should be closed for now because they are small and cramped.

    Logic dictates to me that going to the pub right now for many people is akin to basically risking doing the damage a lifetime worth of damage smoking would cause except you don't even get the pleasure of smoking and possibly die less than a month later. It's like not wearing a condom during an AIDs epidemic. There's thrillseekers and then there are just morons who don't value their lives or the lives of their loved ones.

    All these large venues can well afford to take the loss in revenue by shutting completely.

    Spotted this on the way to work this morning, not clear to me what it's trying to say. That 6% figure is very pessimistic.

    2 more cases in Apple. I'd say the place is riddled with it.

    What exactly is the point of your fear mongering?
    All you are doing is spreading rumours that don't actually help anyone.
    "apparently"?

    It's like you are getting a kick out of this.

    Now that they've FINALLY started testing people that have not been to Italy I would expect the numbers that have it to shoot up. And if that is the case I hope the HSE stop this nanny state horse**** and inform the public how bad particular areas of the country are. Idiots still going to the pub might think twice if there's a bad outbreak of it in their area.

    Going to the pub on Paddys Day for a lot of people was like a tradition.

    Best off staying in with a bag of cans.

    The Raven and Brick Lane also now closed.

    Beauty/hair salon wise, Fifth Avenue, Sweetness Hair & Beauty & Platinum Hair are also now closed until further notice.

    I think a lot of them will make their announcements tomorrow and try to squeeze one last Saturday night out of it tonight.

    At 01:46 (time now) I can hear car engines revving up, probably for races on the N40 (west side of the city).

    Idiots who think that cars are playthings and toys for their amusement, and diverting the efforts of Gardai and (if they crash etc) ambulances and hospital staff,

    Bunch of muppets!

    By and large people are complete morons and/or have no conceptual understanding of anything they cannot see or touch.
