Will they close the pubs in donegal as well? I know it says "up to closure" on the level 3 plan.

That's a kick in the nads for those who only opened again Monday.

Level 3: Remain open with additional restrictions.
Level 4: Outdoor seating only, limited to a maximum of 15 patrons.

So you'd imagine level 3 is "restricted" but indoor pinting.

But then Dublin, so who knows.

Dublin North West still driving the numbers there and Dublin South still under national average

They make it up as they go

Cases are up in the last 3 weeks since testing was ramped up and the schools reopened, is there no allowance for this?

Build a wall around old Donegal.

They're hardy up in Donegal, sitting outside drinking a pint....

I suspect this is a way to avoid being seen having to shut pubs only a week after allowing them to open. Because that would highlight the lack of wisdom in that decision at a time where we are seeing cases rise nationally, and it also gave false hope to the businesses involved.
