As we approach 5 months without Pubs perhaps it is time to start preparing for their permanent closure, Ireland has a severe alcohol problem which kills more people annually than any virus, pubs contribute little to the real economy and their minimum wage jobs aren't exactly the engine of the economy. I would be in full favour of ending them permanently.

Absolutely vile, wishing the return of prohibition just because you are too socially maladjusted to let people enjoy themselves.

Feel sorry for some of the rural pubs who can't open to a few regulars. Especially in areas where there is no evidence of the virus in the area for weeks or months. Being punished for the actions of the cities.

The worst thing is there are large pubs who were taking the p1ss over the last few weeks. One pub in particular in Galway were serving food until 12.30 to enable people stay in the pub until 2.00 am. The curfew is needed IMO.

Two chieftains IPA in a pub/restraunt. I'm sick of this terrible leadership. Sort the borders and stop this mask nonsense.
The pubs can't open ever with the current strategy.

They are scared shytless that something bad will happen and they’ll be destroyed at the next election. FFG are the one party now pretty much, they kept SF out by the skin of their teeth this time. They are clinging onto power for dear life now.

They were destroyed at the last election, Donnelly and Harris only got in at the final count 15.
Varadkar, Coveny and Martin elected on counts 5, 8 and 6.

Galway on Sunday was like a normal bank holiday, huge queues to get into An Pucan and O’Connells. No social distancing at all. The government are only fooling themselves.

Bar the soundbites what is your big issue with masks? Are they stealing your freedom?

The borders are to blame for paddy losing the run of himself? Were the fecking dirty border jumpers the cause of the all the clusters?

The Virus only comes out at midnight. Gives people an hour to get home.

I lost a friend two months ago to alcoholism, 3 guys in my area are dead from Alcohol since March, no one died from other banned substances however. Irish people cannot be trusted to handle Alcohol responsibly so severe regulation is needed.

So if this level of cases is not “good enough” for pubs to be back open when will they????

This is and always has been about control. The festival in Croke Park last Friday where 200 people attended and the rest of us cannot even go to the pub or have a social life because "bad Irish" spread the virus. This government hate us.

They can't close what they never allowed to re-open.

Also, we shouldn't be taking cues from the 3rd worst country by 'deaths per million population' in the world, only beaten by san marino and belgium.

Wont be opening then.

So just cos the UK may consider it necessary to have pubs closed when schools are open Ireland should just disregard that...

Right

Firstly, learn how to spell Coveney. Secondly, go research our PR-STV electoral system. If you want first past the post as an electoral system then the UK have just the thing for you

200 people are allowed at all outdoor events, your thinly veiled racism however should be outlawed

But 200 spectators have been allowed in Croke park all along phase 3. The GAA just don't see the financial benefits of using it. If you're comment was leaning towards who had the service, believe me the CofI and the Catholic Church and the orthodox community are all expecting the same treatment if and when necessary......

I am so sorry to hear about your friend but we cannot let this government takeaway our freedom. These laws and restrictions are straight out of the communism playbook. This is very worrying, the control they have over us, the fact people are trusting them to make decisions for us, a government who are corrupt and do not have our best interests at heart.
Suicides have risen since this all started, mental health issues, they are to blame for all of this.

People will gladly surrender their freedom in order to have the feeling that the Government are their to save them.

Stay in your homes. Do not meet with others. Your life as you know it is over. If you do go outside cover yourself and allow us to trace your every movement and location.
This is for your safety. Thank you for your compliance citizen.

That was an explosive full forward line but nothing to do with pubs and don't think any pub has as much space for distancing as the pitch.

Worst analogy I've seen in a while tbh

What country have they eliminated covid? None they don't stop it, the problem is our borders. How long are you prepared to wear a muzzle?
Your not going to have the world vaccinated by Xmas and everything is back to normal for next summer not even summer 2030.

Did I say once they had eliminated it?...no...clearly not....
But look at countries like Vietnam and other countries in Asia where mask wearing is widespread numbers have stayed comparatively low. It's not a muzzle...wise up...it is extremely childish imo.
Who knows when things will be back to normal but masks, hand washing etc can keep the numbers down here so hospitals can cope if there are spikes in the coming months.

My local village has 2 pubs, both serving an excellent good fellas pizza from local tesco, packed last Sunday and its extraordinary how long a single pizza lasts, at least 6 hrs I'm told. Absolute piss take

The pubs who didnt do this can blame pubs like you've described for another delay to opening, the greed of some at the expense of others

DulchieLaois · 04-08-2020 06:19PM

I am in a green list country on holidays at present, pubs are open, Life is going about as normal except masks in shops, and that is it, government and nphet have no clue what they are doing and making up this **** as they go along, a joke they are.

Opening of "No-Food" pubs pushed out again
