The UK had crowds indoors at the snooker championship 2 weeks ago and 10k fans outdoor this week, do you really think in 4 weeks we will have crowds at indoor sporting events? we wont even be allowed inside a restaurant for possibly 8 more weeks

Try again.

I'm not sure how difficult it is to grasp that our timeline on reopening broadly will match the UK in terms of pubs opening outdoor v population vaccinated and then indoor v population vaccinated.

We're about 6 weeks behind the UK in terms of vaccination, the timelines are very similar.

Some will just moan for the sake of it. Booked my slot in the beer garden today, looking forward to it, couldn't be bothered with takeaway pints.

The UK are absolutely smashing the vaccine rollout, cannot give them enough credit, but England's reopening plan was clearly an exercise in dock swinging that has lucked out. NI Scotland and Wales have not announced a return to full stadiums, nightclubs or concerts yet. Other than announcing outdoor and indoor reopening together (at a gap we're almost certain to replicate) we're almost exactly on par.

Yeah like why do we have to suffer through time limits ?

Hard to see the government not going for this either

Ask the publicans who proposed it

We have 45% of adults vaccinated.

Boris laid out the exit plan for the UK when they had far less than this percentage done. It must have been Feb or early March. He included a date that everything- masks, social distance, nightclubs, gigs, capacity sports grounds, would be, all going well, back in contention (June 21st I think?)

We are at nearly 50% vaccinated and we have to wait until at least Friday to find out if we might be allowed into certain pubs for under 2 hours.

Would pubs wanting 1 metre gaps to get more people in be allowed put up plastic seperation screens out of interest? Having to research which pubs will allow you stay longest is Peak Irish Covid.

Ventilation indoors could be as good as outdoors?

It just doesn't make sense.......

Embarrassing isn't it, relying on the fickle Irish weather because the government are cowering in fear at the prospect of re-opening indoor before July. Imagine if Dermot Morgan were alive today, he would lampoon the bejaysus out of them. The satire writes itself.

You love to know who came up with the 105 minute rule. Some load of bol1ox. Its only going to encourage pub crawls in the bigger towns and cities where the pubs will be booked up.Cant see pubs in smaller towns/villages using the 105 minute rule.

I believe Simon Harris was health minister at the time. I would bet my life the bulk of the anti craic rules came from this horrible little nerd (I'd also bet he came up with the phrase "Hold Firm")

Not sure locally here how much of a difference outdoor drinking on June 7th will mean.

Have had take away pints up here out the back of the pub the last few weekends.

Which will be the exact same process after June 7th.

Fingers crossed for good weather.

The count down begins....13 more days until pubs 'officially' open outdoors ...can wait to drop down to my local for a cuppa maybe even a whiskey in it to celebrate for once...Spare a thought for the musicians in your locals who have not been playing for over a year and when you listen to them next maybe drop an extra tip to them

It's better than nothing but I'm not that excited. Look at it this way- the North has had outdoor drinking for a month. Has there been a single day in the last month, weather wise, where it would have been remotely enjoyable?

I'll go for a few somewhere on Monday week just for the novelty of having a draught pint from a glass in a pub, at a trenemdous fuk you to Holohan, Harris and the rest, but tbh it's a poor substitute for the real thing, unless the summer does a 360 and we get 25 degree days by then. I'm struggling to even think of many pubs in the middle of Dublin that have a substantial beer garden (plus, legally, when does a canopy become indoors, what is outdoors and what isn't etc).

My thought- Monday July 13th at a minimum. The day after the Euros finals. That way they can deny us the pleasures of enjoying all of Euro 2020 in a pub with pints and some atmosphere.

In saying that, they'd also love to deny us an August BH. I'm fearing "ah sure what's another 3 weeks" here.

Bizarre fact- it is somewhat possible people in Dundalk will still be drinking in beer gardens in late July but will be able to go up the road to a ****ing nightclub on the same night.

The war on fun never ends.

What does that have to do with the government?

The plans due to be released could not be released as they were not signed off on by the Government

Some pubs won't bother.

Some will, and will have 5-6 sittings a day, and can blame the government.

The government have their scape goat if anything goes tits up (evil publicans breaking the rules)

It's a tick the boxes exercise that actually benefits everyone.

Ah i know. My local didn't enforce it before and wont enforce it now.

It's more if you wanted to go away somewhere for a weekend not knowing if you will be turfed out after 2 hours or not.

So the latest now is that there will be a 105 minute time limit indoors if tables are less than 2 metres apart, and no time limit if tables are 2 metres or more apart. What a load of rubbish, as if any publican will enforce that. Will the Gardai be coming around with a measuring tape?
