    Just watching the live cam at Templebar, the punters dont know what to do with themselves once they realise the place is shut down.. Good enough, the eejits ruined it for everyone last night, it was such a piss take.

    Wouldn't have been open until 12.30 on a Sunday anyway

    Yeah I kind of knew the answer but I’m living with the parents so you’d be more paranoid than the average person!

    In a lockdown scenario for the republic would there be anything stopping me driving up the north where the pubs should still be open ?

    No nothing at all. Might be hard to get a taxi back unless your driving.

    We need some journalists to ask Minister Harris how many ventilators do we have?
    Looking at that chart Andorra has better facilities than us


    Another German bid for world domination, who knows?

    At the moment no. Eventually I would hope so. We are following different expert advice to the north with different goals.

    Is that a notice I see on the door of The Temple Bar? Perhaps common sense has kicked in.

    We cannot close the northern border. People need to realise this is not happening.

    We're bad enough with a fcuking virus we don't need to go back to the Troubles alongside that!

    My employer informed us last Tuesday that if we close for a few weeks he won't be able to open the doors again. Bankruptcy.

    Eventually the virus will pass but the after effects will live on
    He is a genuine and nice guy.
    Worrying times ahead for many.

    Anyone not working for the government or a multinational should be very worried

    Think we need to get a sticky of all the pubs that closed on their own esteem and back them when all this blows over

    From the Connaught Telegraph fb page referenced earlier, about pubs in Mayo that closed yesterday:

    Delaney's, Ballyhaunis
    Mellett's Emporium, Swinford
    Crockett's Quay Bistro, Ballina
    Dillon's Bar & Restaurant, Ballina
    Cruisers Bar, Foxford
    Mayo Leisure Point, Castlebar
    Gilligan's Bar, Claremorris

    Special mention to the Castlecourt Hotel, Westport which closed all non-essential functions but is keeping its bistro open for takeaway including half-price dinners to those 'most in need of support' - 'pull up and we will deliver to your car'.

    ConTel also references 'all pubs in Galway city', ties in with other posts on this thread. Galway city will be getting a weekend trip from me once its safe to do so.

    The place has a notice up on the door, cant read it but it obviously says it wont be opening up today.. People are hanging around the place all in denial, wondering why and how this could happen.

    Wouldn't they be more prudent to announce immediate closure rather than have people rushing to catch a last minute movie

    Prudent doesn’t come into it...It’s Sunday, people are out shopping there is money to be made, perhaps after some escapism... they care about relieving people of cash, not the general wellbeing of society. This and the publicans behavior shows you 100%.

    Agreed.

    When this hopefully blows over these are the businesses we should support to get back on their feet.

    Not the numpties that waited for government direction.

    Hence the current phased approach to any possible shutdown.
