Opening of "No-Food" pubs pushed out again

Richard Hillman · 07-09-2020 05:30PM

There have been 3304 Cases of Covid 19 in Ireland over the last 30 days. There have been 5 deaths.

A death Rate of 0.15%.

This is nonsense lads. They should be open right now.

That'll be a "probably not" then. They need to be careful though. Given some attitudes, if they get too many false hopes up they'll end up with riots.

Well let's not go that far now.

End of the day it'll be a government decision.

They are open. They're open right now.

I was in the pub on Saturday. Drinking pints! Might go again next weekend!

All pubs are not open.

Some have not taken advantage of the measures put in place allowing them to open.

Those measures are being changed. Maybe the ones that have chosen not to open so far will do so? I hope that's the case!

The 5 deaths no doubt had weeks to live either way.

Mod: @MrStuffins - I've given you a lot of latitude in this thread because whether people like it or not, having an unpopular opinion in itself isn't an actionable offense. Posts like this however, are just blatant trolling to get the reaction you are looking for. Any further posts to simply troll for a reaction and I'll remove your access to the thread.

Hi Mike.

Apologies if I am coming across as trolling. This is not my intention.

I will be careful how I word my posts in future

You’ll have to have delicious, tasty and creamy posts somewhere else!!

Gods Gift · 07-09-2020 07:58PM

I’ve moved my drinking shirt from the back of the hot press, to slightly nearer the front.

Well when these new measures come in, there will be plenty of other places to drink! No food requirements, no time requirements (if the right social distance is kept) etc.

It'll be as close to the old pub experience as possible. I have a weekend "staycation" coming up with the lads as well so it'll be ideal if we're rolling by the end of the month!

Jesus... and that's the reality of it.

Awful.

It's on Twitter. Might not even be 2020 or Ireland in the photo.

Dickie10 · 07-09-2020 09:30PM

i find ronan glynns response tonight very different to what would have been said 6 weeks ago under these case numbers. Glynn would have said "no way not under these numbers not for the forseeable future will pubs open" Now hes saying they probabaly will open, i think we can see from that statement that ronan glynn and nyphet are lowly but surely being put back in thier box.

I'd say they just know that it's a lost cause now that the people have turned because it went on longer than was convenient, so may as well see what happens.

It's from McGinns in Galway today. It's on their Facebook page. I know the exact seat he is in. Also a lovely bar for food & pints for what it's worth.

And a classic non-apology apology. Pity it took an Admin having to take time out of their day to get you to stop.

Looks pretty sweet to me. I love a good pint on my own.

Only when I do it my alarm clock is actually a phone that could ring at any point with the missus telling me my pinting time is over!

Suckit · 07-09-2020 10:15PM

Seems a bit condescending to me.
A man is sitting in a pub minding his own business, had a meal and looking out the window.

"This little old man.."

I would agree with the sentiment that it is political will now driving this rather than a change in NPHETs position....that is of course if they do follow through.

You seem to be inhabiting an alternative universe where everything is fine and dandy. It's reprehensible an auld lad like that in for his quiet jar has to be marshalled by the clock.

MrStuffins · 07-09-2020 10:20PM

Hang on...... is it not the case that time restrictions don't count if you can socially distance?

This guy is on his own. Surely there's no time restriction?

You seem to be under the assumption that he is not choosing to use the clock himself to limit his time there.

He may be kinda worried about catching the virus himself.
He no longer needs to limit himself to the 105 minutes.

He may just like going there, having a quiet pint and a bit of food, and getting out before he stays too long.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the point was made on this thread yesterday that, once distancing can be assured, that the time limit doesn't come into play

stephenjmcd wrote: »

there is currently no time limit in any establishment as it stands now if theres 2m between the tables. Its been like that since hosptiality reopened.......

You can already stay in an establishment if the tables are more than 2m apart for longer than 105 mins.

I am, of course, open to correction?
