Quite a lot seem to enjoy seeing restrictions, shutdowns etc, weird, Leo's curtain twitchers, you'd wonder what kind of life they had before covid.

yeah its all very tragic indeed, curtain twitchers is right, the anti pub /anti gargle brigade are certainly the most vocal and are embarrassing with the nonsense they come out with without actually offering up any hard evidence.

3pm closing of restaurants on Christmas eve now by looks of it according to rte..

I rang place I have booked at 2 and they said to come ahead

Just to rub it in they wouldnt even let us have christmas eve night in the pub:eek: my god ive never seen any industry so demonised as pubs have been in this country, the pub has always been an intergral part of Irish society irrespective of what the anti pub brigade say, and the vast majority of pubs have bent over backwards to accomodate but continued to be demonised by a man who happens to hold a senior medical postion who clearly has a unhealthy hatred of pubs.

Holohan will not be remembered fondly in years to come that is for sure.

Somehow it is easier to think that there is a worldwide conspiracy against pubs than to think that they are contributing to the spread of covid

never said anything of the sort about a "worldwide conspiracy" but you dont see every country demonising the hospitality sector like they have here.

Imagine that with social distancing though, not much craic so the likelyhood would be social distancing would be ignored.

Masks are proven to reduce spread, no masks are worn when folk are drinking.

Reasonable enough that pubs aren't open these days and most of the pubs masquerading as restaurants should be shut also unfortunately.

Again im asking you and others to provide evidence and not just offer up
"opinions" and "what ifs"


This is the thing with the anti pub birgade, they are all opinions and what ifs but are unable to provide any sort of evidence, so i just cant take people like this seriously.

Pubs are closed so they clearly aren't responsible.
If they were open they'd likely be a problem so best to keep them closed, really simple logic.

ok right .......:rolleyes:

It's like talking to a brick wall trying to reason with those on here who are clearly anti pub, numerous times ive asked for evidence to show that pubs are the cause of outbreaks to be produced and of course they cant because none exists,it's all opinions and what ifs, sorry lads that doesnt cut it.

But you can all sleep well tonight knowing that these dangerous covid hotspots that are pubs are to close again and more people will be out of work yet again.

Good afternoon :eek:
