    I don't remember Joe fighting the cause of any other Non-panto small businesses. His attitude there was basically just "suck it up, it's all in the interest of public health". It's ridiculous to hear the importance been given to this.

    the taxpayer is not going to be happy with any of these places getting money

    "The panto community is hugely supportive of each other"

    Cheerios Panto.

    Sounds a bit like Rice Crispies tag line:

    Crap, Scutter and Poop.

    There’s a telephonist in RTÉ on €400k and he only pays corporation tax on that.

    If these places stage their shows, won’t they be taking money at the door as per usual. Why do they need extra funds?

    Langtons has a stage, seats about 300 easy, it hosts music, plays, variety acts etc. Its also a nightclub, bar, hotel. in all fairness there shouldnt be any issue with them getting the 16k

    It's a proper theater...just like they have in Dubland ;)

    The lack of self-awareness on display from this self-promoting ,egocentric diva is staggering.




    And the panto crowd representatives aren't much better :)

    Is Joe and the rest of these gobsh1tes for real?

    You are told to work from home if you can.

    Shops, pubs and restaurtants are closed.

    They wont allow people to go to a beach or a park if they live more than 5km away.

    They wont allow people to go to a game in an outdoor stadium like the Aviva or Croke Park.

    And these gobsh1tes think that its ok to allow a panto - with an audience of snotty nosed kids - go ahead in an indoor venue.

    The pantos I was brought to were free ones produced by the staff of Irish Life because a neighbour was an actuary working there. It was mainly for children of the staff. I used to live it, good clean, no innuendo.
