    Christ NYPHET and the looney bin medics are talking about next Autumn /Winter before any normality and easing of restrictions. Theres a full list of concerts for summer and Theatre shows , surely these wont go ahead . I see body and soul festival in June already gone.

    I know a few lads that did this, ate in the first pub and left the food sitting on the table in the next 2, some waste of food any money.

    Modern medicine has done loads for us. The loonies in NPHET are predominantly the group of people who have brought us the black hole, failure of an organisation that is the HSE.

    What about all the clown rent a mouth professors from the universities? They've as much to answer for their peddling of a ludicrous zero virus policy.

    We did it but with two pubs.

    Ordered food in the first place, then went to the second place and ordered pizzas. Left them sitting there but, because we were appropriately socially distant, the publican let us stay. By the time we left, we'd eaten the pizza!

    I don't care how many pizzas I have to order, I'll be looking forward to a rake load of Christmas pints with the lads!

    Suppose having food pubs is something, Won't be as easy as last summer to find somewhere

    The Xmas eve and new year's pints are more than likely out the window

    Lads, in fairness, NPHET would have a very similar guideline around seasonal flu. I know the difference between the two, but the HSE would also recommend not riding anyone ever or smoking or drinking etc. The list is endless. It’s about personal responsibility and maturity in this.

    Some places are sound enough to let you order the food and get your pints in, but only collect the food (like pizza which is the easiest) at the end of your time so it's like getting a take away to bring home.

    So if you get food in one, few pints and maybe get an extra hour out of that premises move onto the second one and ask the second one to serve the food at the end.

    I don't think there's a rule or guideline on when the food has to be served?

    Another news site is running that it will be LESS than the 1 hour 30mins... won't bother my backside if you have to leave after an hour.

    Yet people who are clicky with staff will be allowed flout.

    We always have to do things half arsed here. The cases rose at the same time as the rest of Europe so keeping the bars closed was pointless and shows there was no benefit.

    NYPHET have 90 per cent knowledge of the course of this disease as does any epidemiologist. They just don't want to get caught out. We're in the fourth quarter of the second wave. Infections will fall regardless of whether pubs are open well into Jan and not rise until the third and final,least deadly wave in March. The curve is flattened. Hospitals will not be overrun. It will actually speed things along by opening now. It's gone by June along with our pub culture. What replaces it could be much worse. Pubs tied to corporations and vulture funds.

    As a complete aside, I’d love a pint in grograns this weekend! Don’t have loads of mates cause I’m over 30 and a loser, so just me and the OH would be fine. Tony, if you see this, let it happen! Xx

    If its 1hr 30mins then its a load of bollox. It would be pointless heading out to the pub if thats the case. Just opened them up and bring in any measurements that are needed. No need for that 1hr 30mins if people are behaving

    Aye, a complete cobblers. Having to order a meal and endure time constraints. Virtually no enjoyment to be had, looking over your shoulder as soon as you're in the door. Only desperadoes and outright liars would express any delight in that arrangement. Why not plonk people in a giant perspex box while they're at it, like a good compliant sheep singing Tony's praises. Mickey mouse sideshow.

    Don't be bitter because you're a part time drinker who hasn't got a rep for being sound

    Less than 1.30 is very short

    So the restrictions seem fairly restrictive and more of a way of saying “well we gave you the option to open” but the working kitchen one is a bit ridiculous because wet pubs don’t have those. I mean my local has enough room a male and female toilet outside of the bar itself. Look I’ll be happy to go back to my local pub when they can open up for more than two weeks in one go which in September was a joke and I didn’t go.

    Even going from 1.45 down to 1.30 is quite restrictive on people to enjoy a meal

    Wouldnt be surprised if they increase the substantial meal cost to 15 euro to stop bars that are really not gastro pubs from opening

    Pubs a safe place my hole , they have touted this ****e since cheap alcohol came available in supermarkets, we only have to look at what happened in every bog town that won the county championship , the virus ran through them like wildfire because of the pubs and there controlled environment , boozers are evil places, they will never send an alcho home sober, In saying that can't wait to meet the lads for a few pints, won't be going near them over chrimbo, maybe after the Jan lockdown
