They’ll base it on how much you’re spending.

It allowed pubs to open 2 months early and allowed pubs in Dublin to stay open through the summer.

If you don't understand why it was in place after it was explained 1000 times then you're being wilfully ignorant.......

It was nowhere else in Europe

Before lockdown II Britain's highest tier had more tepaxes pub rules than we had over the summer.

It'll be a wait and see exercise for pubs that don't serve food.

Doubt they'll be opening in the first phase, and only allowed to open in the run in to Christmas if the numbers keep trending in the right way.

If cases rise in December they are doomed.

Time for the Vintners to come out swinging their dicks. All pubs to reopen on December 1st with 2hr time limits or they will all open unrestricted and the garda will have to shut down all 7000 pubs in Ireland by force.

The lad who was filling in for Holohan apparently assured the pubs some months ago that going fwd food and wet pubs would be treated as one in the same.

Frankly I think the dry arse bastards will rule that restaurants can open but cant sell alcohol, or can only sell a limited amount of wine. Anything possible to drive the final nail in the pub coffin

Lol!

Followed by the Garda swinging their dicks, arresting any publican who would endanger the health of the nation like this and revoking their licences, or refusing to renew when the time comes.

Some entertainment this Christmas eh?

You really should stay off the drugs there pal. They are affecting your perception of reality. Unfortunately (unfortunate for you that is) not going to happen.

For the love of god stop calling them wet pubs!

NPHET can go do one with their "gastro" pubs. I'd sooner swim to Wales than ever dream of entering one of those plastic environments again. Having to order a compulsory meal, and then being surrounded by overdressed ponces at adjoining tables who only go out twice a year. Affected accents, blathering on about their mediocre Christmas bonuses etc. F*ck all that white noise. Just want a regular jar in a regular local with socially distanced regulars, it really isn't too much to ask in December.

showpony1 · 23-11-2020 02:08PM

Even the most non-food locals had started to have Apache Pizza or whatever it is from down the road deliver up food, but most did it just as they brought in the Dublin specific restrictions closing them all. So I'd say most will open once food pubs are allowed.

The longer this goes on, the more BANANAS! we will go when they finally do open. It'll be some craic but it's going to be carnage. There will be casualties.

Yes, just like what happened after the Spanish flu, we had the roaring 20,s, and what came after that, oh yea, the great depression of the 30s.ðŸ˜„

Based on past form I would put money on them not opening. It is too much of the leopard changing its spots for me to seriously believe NPHET et al will permit it.

They will just bring in food from local takeaways

Semi-encouraging news in today's Sunday Times. Consideration of L3 rules for 2 weeks then movement to L2 rules in the 2 weeks before Christmas. Talk of 10pm closing time will annoy some though.

That seems perfectly reasonable tell the pubs and business that now so they have certainty and ****ing go with it no flip flopping no bowing to the curtain twitchers just ****ing do it.

Cork2021 · 23-11-2020 05:44PM

Lads doesn’t look like even the pub that gets the local takeaway will be aloud open.

Cork2021 · 23-11-2020 05:45PM

It’ll be interesting to see how Holahan downplays another great day on the vaccine front. He should be nowhere near the vaccine task force as well

Necro · 23-11-2020 05:54PM

Mod:

It shouldn't even have to be said that advocating criminal activity is not permitted. I've deleted a few posts in relation to this.

Further mention and your posting access to this thread will be removed

Has he been given any data we haven't?

Or is it just a one page press brief that went public.

The one page brief is of course positive news but until data has been studied they can't be raising hopes.

Every other international expert, Fauci etc, lauded the first vaccine report 3 weeks ago.

Holohan was cautiously optimistic but said he wouldn't be celebrating yet.

He bleedin loves the misery.

If we can get non retail shops open and restaurants that will do most people . Keep all pubs closed is best unless we want wave 3 in January!

Do you just want them open with no restrictions at all?

A bit unfair, come nexy May or June everyone that wants to can drink themselves to death in a pub but for now it makes sense to keep them closed in order to keep infection numbers at low levels.

Where is this implied? You're simply engaging in a bad faith argument. Every rational adult in Ireland knows that we're headed for Level 3, pubs can reopen here with provisions. Cop on to yourself.

I asked a question, there was no argument. Was just asking a poster wher he stood. Calm down dear.

The only unfair thing is your ridiculous comment.

We need to learn to live with this virus. Not shut down for a small number of cases. Deaths and hospitalisations are the only thing that matters. These are low. Incredibly low.

If you are concerned, stay at home and shield yourself. The rest of us will continue as normal. Even if I subscribed to your view, it would make more sense to open the pubs to avoid house parties.

Yes open them with restrictions like they were in level 2. Any pub that i was in had restrictions and they were well managed
