many pubs that offer food could do the same, go with the delivery companies or meals on wheels

Whats the harm in laying off it for a few weeks? really?[/quote

Do you not think that's up to each individual. Just cos there's a virus doesn't give us the right to preach at others.

The French gov has changed approach in the last few days, first by closing schools and yesterday evening by closing bars, restaurants and non essential shops.



However, as per today, not everyone has got the message on social distancing.

Just watched belfast on the BBC news. The city centre was hopping. We can do what we like down here but if they take that attitude we're going to find it harder to control things. All the thicks will run across the border tuesday for a few scoops too.

Class ?

I agree. Close all the pubs, chippers, takeaways, snooker halls, bingo, arcades, GAA clubhouses, pitch and putts and pigeon races.

Leave alone the wine bars, private members clubs, bistros, brasseries, fusion cuisine lofts, tennis, rugby, yacht and golf clubs and seal off Howth at Sutton Cross.

For anyone interested and remembers the elderly couple from Northampton in the UK that were on the cruise ship in Japan and contracted Covid 19, are both now recovered and home in the UK.

If I was preaching at them I would would be asking them to stop drinking. I am not, I don't give a **** about their addiction let them destroy themselves. I do care about the consequences of their actions in terms of spreading a deadly virus, and thats now sorted by the pub closures.

Exactly. At 1st glance yes the Brits are taking a ridiculous approach.
But looking at the issue from a future point of view we don’t know which approach is right until next year.
Come next January we can look at Ireland vs England and see who made the right call

Bullshít. We know the Brits have it wrong. And this isn't an Irish v Brit thing don't be so vacuous and childish.

The Chinese have shown the way, it's a costly approach in terms of the economy but it works and in Europe different countries end up adopting that approach but incredibly the Brits think they know better, they don't.

Hard on the heels of the stupidity of Brexit and then the enormous stupidity of following through and compounding the initial error re Brexit they then end up with a buffoon as their Prime Minister, and now this incredibly stupid motivated by ignorant greed herd immunity so called strategy.

We can safely say with their stupid approach to this crisis that per head of population the Brits have become the stupidest nation on the planet over recent years. Every country has it's fair share of morons but in the UK it appears the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

It's not about being anti Brit or pro Brit or any of that crap, it's about calling out the stupidity of their so called strategy which they think might save them some money but in the long run won't and will probably cost more lives than if they do what the rest of the world it appears are attempting to implement.

I wouldn't give a damn what they did however unfortunately for us they're next door to us and also they have influence over part of the North of this island. All we can do is try to talk some sense into them up in The North and hope they do the right thing.

Yeah, there are roughly 1.6 million trips from Ireland to Spain annually.
So, basically 1 in 3 people in Ireland will have been in Spain this year.

Would have been.

Going to be carnage at the dole offices - how are people temporarily laid off going to get money? They can't rock up to social welfare offices, they'll be locked down.

I always have savings, a rainy day fund but a cough and splutter fund...

Well one of those 5 has it too and I hope its not one of the carers or we're looking at a superspreader to the elderly

Yep it’s pretty worrying though to me anyway god only knows how many ppl are walking around spreading it. God love that woman doesn’t sound good.

Good move closing the pubs tonight, is there a reason they aren't doing the same with restaurants and cafes etc? Surely it would make sense just to close everything at this stage.

It's a rolling wave now.

I would expect more in the coming days, be prepared for it.

We are ahead of the curve and should keep it at that by whatever means necessary now. Honestly if the LVA close pubs that is a deal breaker. Others will follow. Hopefully.

across the road from me on talbot street the pub has closed its shutters but its cleary packed and a right aul sesh going on in there. clearly this order to close isnt being heard very well in the city, can only imagine how its being dealt with rurally.

Do your duty report it to the authorities
