You're not working in the service/restaurant/pub industry I take it then?

What do you want to do though, seriously? Just keep everything as pre-covid and let it run through the country?
The roll of the dice is that venues where people gather in close proximity are liable to spread virus. 12 years ago the roll of the dice was that builder's and site workers were screwed. If we allow the virus to spread without check it would be Brazil here. It is the leading cause of death there this past while. If you were Emperor of Ireland could you stand over 30 or more people dying of it every day in a few months and do nothing? What would you do?

Personally I have no clue why creative people have not come up with a load of ways for people to have the craic outdoors in a safer way. Big huge geodomes, with open sides. Monster marquees. Personal zorbs. Hats that are umbrellas, that not only keep you dry but keep everyone a bit away from each other!

We needed to give the Gardai the power to forcibly break up parties but naturally the party goers were outraged at the idea, god knows why they were listened to.

Jesus, what a shocking post.

House parties isn't just teenagers going mad. It also covers those dinner parties, Sunday dinners with your granny, tea parties with the neighbours etc. Of course it is insanity to give Gardai powers to break up house parties.
