    No indoor areas of pubs/restaurants allowed open

    Farce

    Why is it a farce? You do know that the virus spreads much more quickly indoors than outdoosr?

    Then close them, don't give them an impossible set of rules to open. 15 people outdoors in ireland in October, are they having a laugh.....

    They've been subtly hinting at something in the budget...... But a vat cut doesn't help when you haven't sold anything in 6 months.

    That’s what should have been done from day one.

    Surely 'wet' pubs in Dublin should be allowed open outdoor areas if they have them and the 9euro meal stuff binned?

    Well it's October so this may as well be a complete closure of our restaurants and pubs. Idiots.

    Whatever about wet pubs, I don't see why they have to take away the option of dining inside where tables are at least 2 metres apart. I've been in plenty of places with screens between sittings and I feel sorry for them now. Safer than any supermarket or school.

    A farce of a rule in particular as it's applied lazily across the 26 counties without a shred of isolated analysis. One rule for everyone is laughable

    Indeed, sorry. Just picked up on the outside but as I knew my local pub are doing outside drinking. They must be doing food too.

    I had to spend 9 euro on some cheese in a box to get a pint of Guinness in Dublin last week, 14euro for a pint. No wonder the economy wasn't doing as bad as expected.

    Too many people backing this whacky rule to blame pubs as the main source for the virus..

    So pubs can only have outdoor serving and no indoor ? That’s what I get from just reading the last two pages of this thread. At times you can’t sit outside in the summer in Ireland never mind the autumn and winter.

    All of those provide essential services . Pubs do not despite what you might want to believe.

    A fixed pack for a fixed price, the bare necessities. You go and pick it up without leaving your vehicle or you have it deliver by a provided service if required. No browsing.

    Why would electricity be cut when people need to stay at home?

    That is the reason that people are supposed to wear masks, socially distance and/or limit their time in indoor public environments.

    So as to discourage anyone who may get the notion to go to someone else's house and listen to music or watch TV therefore giving the temptation to socialise and thusly spread the virus like the wildfire?

    Ok, and so would that sensible approach work for Pub/Restaurants?

    So all that was changed was the tighter restrictions around pubs.

    I have said it a zillion times on this thread. It's an anti-alcohol thing. It has always been an anti-alcohol thing. They are ideologically opposed to pubs. They blame it for all of the health services problems.

    Pubs open but all customers have to sit outside in the middle of October?

    Finally the term "Wet Pubs" will start to make sense!
