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.

So only stupid people take a vaccine ??

What a pathetic post. Truly dumb.

Yes I really cannot wait for that day, when u can just walk in and order a drink. I did get the opportunity to do that in a pub over the summer and it was great.

Lol. No, it was tongue in cheek. What it means is only dopes are anti-vax. And over the next few months there will be plenty of people who start sentences with “I’m not an anti-vaxxer, but”. Bit off topic for now but will become relevant when the vaccine is being rolled out.

You can apologise in your own time.

No I must do so now - I totally misread you and I am sorry.

And I agree!!

Bizarre to see videos on social media this morning of the huge crowds queuing outside Penney's in Limerick. Little to no social distancing.
And they say the pub's are the problem.....

Looking for logical consistency during this farce is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I hour 45 mins time limit and have to have food.

I believe the time limit does not apply if a distance of 2 meters can be maintained between tables.

I think the argument would be that you'd be adding the pubs on top of that.

This is the perfect example. If these people are going to be queuing outside Pennys with "little to no social distancing", the exact same thing will happen in pubs with no restrictions.

Exactly the same as when people are saying "Pubs should be open because house parties are happening".

Pubs aren't the problem, people are!

Myself and my mates started putting a bar together at the back of one of our mates house at the weekend. Will have it sorted for the All Ireland hurling final. Looking forward now to a few pints out there over the next few weeks and months until the proper pubs open. Will be be only a handful of us out there at any time

Everywhere I’ve booked already say ur table is required back after 1 hour 45 mins. But i would like to come across a place doing the above but don’t think il find it in Cork city.

What do you mean there's no time limit this time, you just need to spend €9 on a meal and you can stay and drink your face off.

incorrect, only if the pub has tables 2m apart. can confirm every pub ive rang in Swords has 1.45 as they would have had to reduce capacity.

Can't blame you at all for going down that route. Walter Mitty out of Melbourne/Mullingar would be inquiring after your name and registration. Long may he/she/it vegetate in the squalid bedsit.

The solution... we all have a kitchen at home so bring your own healthy correct portion meal. No reason why we cant have pubs open outside at least.

Got a notification earlier that a delivery will be arriving tomorrow "before 9pm".
Had a brief reflex moment of thinking "that's very inconvenient, what if I'm out somewhere?" before I remembered

Did somebody change the thread title to remove the reference to August?

This is a strange year. Not being able to see family and friends has been the worst part for me. Pubs are lower on the list but it’s strange alright, to not have Friday pints after work.

Pubs will be back soon enough. Once the vaccine has been rolled out to a good portion of the over 65s and vulnerable people, they can reassess the situation and let people mingle more freely.

There might be some elements of distancing in place for a good while to come so no point expecting everything to go back to normal overnight. But we’ll get there.

That must be the 10th time you’ve told us about dreaming about pubs being open.

You really are a piece of work. Traditional pubs don't have months to play with, many are already hanging on by a thread and flippant comments like yours are removed from the stark reality publicans face this winter.

Piece of work...
flippant comments...

Look, the reality of the situation isn’t subject to my observations.

I don’t want to see anyone lose business but I can observe that it’s happening. I’m genuinely sorry for anyone who has lost their job or business during Covid or the recession that will likely follow. If I flippantly said the pubs will open tomorrow and the economy will be great, it wouldn’t make it happen.

Let’s just deal with reality on reality’s terms. Pubs are a non essential business and they’re likely to be high on the list to close if numbers get out of hand again. Not their fault, just the way it is.

The vaccine rollout will be the best chance of getting back towards normal.
