    And when your village doesn't have a fancy Gastropub with a kitchen and a chef to make up a €9 meal and only has a Pub, which for many is the only place to meet socially on a winter's night, tough luck eh?

    Shhhhhhh...... These lads don't exist, and there are no single elderly men in ireland, there definitely wasn't a news report about a lad with a clock who went to the local to chat.....

    No sir, they don't exist......

    It's certainly ignored by those who live in Cities and big towns, they can barely see beyond the end of their own noses..the Rural pub doesn't exist for them.

    As for the willfully ignorant(delusional) troll... well they are on /Ignore now..

    Seriously, if you cannot be civil do not post as more of the sort of crap from the last few pages and you'll be getting threadbans as well as cards

    I don't know a locals pub in inner city Dublin that doesn't have a few lads like that, I imagine it's worse the further west and south west you go.

    Didn't that story turn out to be wrong? I'm sure I read that he's always carried it to remind him when it's time to get home for the news.

    What do you have against old lads who want to be home for the news?

    Anyone who's as excited as you for a 2 week Restaupub opening doesn't give a rats about the publicans while 1000's of other publican's haven't opened their doors since March so cut the bs directed at the other poster..

    This makes absolutely no sense. How does him going for a pint in a gastropub affect the publicans who can’t open? What would “giving a rats” look like? What exactly should he do in order to pass your very weird morality test?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭speckle



    How backward those rules are... just choose a decibel level... even apps for that... live musicians/pub owner can monitor it... musicians will be the last to back to work at this rate... There were rules in place for live music for example wedding etc which now have gone backwards....yet you have orchestras playing for rte. Shame.

    Is laughing banned as well? Can you drink with your mouth open, or do you need an IV?

    PUP extended til 31st March it's common sense pubs not open til past paddy's day


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,991 ✭✭✭PommieBast


    We’ll have to see how it works out. Pubs are likely going to open and close as the numbers change so let’s hope they numbers stay low and the vaccine rollout works.
    Over the summer the pubs remained closed when cases were 10-20 and deaths below one, so I don't hold out much hope.

    Paddy's day? Q3 2021 looks more plausible.

    Even in May when Tony said it was “effectively eliminated “they didn’t open

    So the only thing not open in Ireland after today is old school pubs?

    And discos or whatever the kids call them these days but yeah pretty much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 609 ✭✭✭lcstress2012


    What are the restrictions like this time round with pubs/restaurants? Is there still a time limit and what time are they closing?

    Or go home. It doesn't "make" you do anything.

    It actually is true. No matter how much you want to deny it.

    Horrible about the live music, I was in a bar during the summer and they had a live band but they were away from everyone and the music was played through speakers throughout the pub, was really good idea. Also had a digital temp check on going in, don’t think they ever had a case there. Very well set up.

    This country is actually sick, I’m just thinking what would u expect from a country who make owning ur own home completely unachievable for so many people. Pretty sure it’s the only country in the world where u cant live in a mobile home permanently as alternative to traditional houses. My parents have a mobile and id happily live in that permanently but only open certain months of the year.

    Yeah that’s true. Pubs just aren’t essential. High on the list of businesses to close and low on the list of businesses to reopen.

    But with vaccines being given to a good chunk of the vulnerable people by then, they might change the approach.

    By summer your expect that all the over 65s, and maybe more, will have had the vaccine - apart from the ones who are too clever to take a vaccine. So that will cut the sickness and death rate considerably.

    We rightfully hate Cromwell but Holohan is working off his Christmas playbook.
