    Apart from one short video has there been any footage of crowds inside or outside pubs?

    It’s like being back in March again only this time the general populous couldn’t give a **** about covid. Sure it’s a hoax it’s from 5g, Insert latest twitter bull**** here.

    I remember well both the irish and uk goverments saying guys we dont want to close the pubs but please be careful Covid is very dangerous. Cue public packing out bars in dub and pubs closing by law. Unfortunately people are children.

    Maybe it's a just a blow off of steam this weekend, but if it continues over the next couple of weekends I can't see how the government will be able to stand over letting pubs open fully from July 20th, and in fact not reverse the opening decisions.

    Out of interest, have any restaurants had similar issues? The few I've seen on social media have seemed delighted with how well it's gone.

    The pubs are meant to be operating as restaurants now. Need to shutdown take away pints for starters. Grand, let people drink outside after they've had a meal to free up tables say but then enforce social distancing and limit how many can be outside the one pub at same time.

    Nobody likes these rules by any means but they're there for a reason. Pubs one of the riskier settings with people's inhibitions lower with drink, so need to be more controls there than anywhere else tbh

    You think for some reason this particular area was a one off?

    I don’t want to argue with a fellow spurs supporter but, all it takes is one video like this to kickstart the spread.
    This is just one video was it replicated all throughout Ireland tonight?

    In fairness most locals wouldn't go to Temple Bar and pay those prices for drink when you can get a cheaper pint elsewhere so not surprising.

    Your average pub owner though is sitting at home, watching Netflix, waiting for the email or txt with the nights takings... he feels comfortable that he has spent a few grand installing screens and bought a few masks for the staff.

All these cnuts calling for the opening up of the economy , 1 metre rule no more restrictions are not the ones doi g the minimum wage jobs, it's not their kids working the bars or cafes , skum like Michael o learys kids wont be selling f#cking raffle tickets on a flight to magaluf.

    It’s too early for Temple Bar to be packed.
    The tourists haven’t arrived here en masse, and they’re the only ones who go there

    You’re generalising a bit by insinuating that every single tourist has the virus.

    It's not just tourists. It's anyone who's flown in from places where there's high levels of community transmission at the moment and that would include a lot of urban areas in the USA, Brazil, parts of England and so on.

    They don't have to be tourists, it could equally be someone from Ireland who's come back various places with high transmission rates, and the USA is very likely to feature in that scenario.

    I know of quite a few Irish people who've come home from the US over the last few weeks. Whether they have complied with requirements on self-isolating, I don't know, but you can safely speculate that if someone's the type who takes no precautions and goes out on a mad night out in Dublin, you're also very likely to have been highly sociable in the US or wherever too and may not have taken all that 'red tape and bureaucracy' all that seriously either when it came to self-isolating.

    The coronavirus doesn't care what nationality you are, just as long as you have cells it can hijack and repurpose.

    Politically things have changed somewhat too. I would say the Publican Party being in the mix could end up resulting in a lot more lobbying from pubs, hospitality and airlines being taken seriously than it was over the March and April, when you effectively had the outgoing government sitting in as technocratic caretakers, with no assumption that they were going to be in anything other than opposition.

    The last people to lobby against lockdown and the first to demand relaxation....



    It remains to be seen whether the current lot have any backbone on these issues. The last lot barely had, and tended to leave huge loopholes like the airports open.

    Also if Dublin city pubs are issued with closures in a few weeks because of people not being able to behave themselves, the government will have to implement a ban on traveling country wise too. No travelling outside your own county type of ban again to prevent pub tourism.

    The temple bar pub being closed might have something to do with it

    No its the Dame Lane area which has alot of bars and restaurants in close proximity, there's literally no room for people to queue as they wait to go in to any of the establishments, its one of the most compact areas in Dublin, 50 people in the street would make it seem packed.

    Is dame lane on that cam?
    Also do we expect people to go home to their beds after 10pm? Like **** they will.
    It’ll be house party’s all over the place with no SD.

    It's 1 video, I've not seen any other videos doing the rounds so I'll wait until I see others.

    The chances of anything happening from that video is extremely low.

    I get what your saying but its not the huge panic some make it out to be, I'd be more concerned if they were indoor

    Why do you think the scene on Dame Lane was such an isolated incident?Of course because of the narrowness of the lane it is exaggerated, but still , Dublin city centre was busy af this evning. I'm sure anyone who also walked around the city the last few hours can vouch for me, and go take a look for yourself next weekend! Most pubs/restaurants that were open were rammed, with people standing outside them drinking

    Drove down St William Street last night around half 10 and there was loads out drinking on the streets, beside Pygmalion was particularly busy, Dame Lane also looked pretty busy enough.

    To be fair they were the only two spots with a lot of people, Camden all the way up the to end of Rathmines was fairly quiet

    Nope, once your 100m away from the pub you bought the pints from theres no comeback on them

    Not sure that's true Stephen. There's littering laws all the disposable cups will break for starters

    And that aside, in the video they're clearly standing outside the bars in Dame Lane and not 100 metres away from them

    Irish Publicans, for once, need to restrain their greed. Absolutely no responsibility shown by the Dame Lane bar owners here and they're responsible for what we're seeing in this video

    Honestly was only curious. Wasn't saying that pubs are packed. I'm completely against them opening and if you had asked me a year ago would I refuse to be out on a Saturday I'd have laughed. But in, watching MoTD on record. And us Spurs fans have to stick together
