Concerning trends with the Indian variant. Really can't see indoor dining returning as planned sadly.

:rolleyes: based on what exactly ? I know it’s not going to happen but coronavirus and the donkey it rode in on need to **** off.

It hasn't gone away. Some version of it likely to be around for good.

While this lad is on a wind up and hates pubs and socialising, I would sadly have to half concur. Tony is chomping at the chance to do it one more time. The fact that everybody who can die from it is now fully vaccinated and therefore are probably at as much risk of Covid death as flu death, or even less, doesn't matter to them. If the Indian variant is at 20% this week it seems likely it would be at circa 50% by the time the pubs are due. These wastes of space won't turn down the opportunity I feel. Whether Mehole has the balls to tell them to feck off who knows, particularly as two weeks from now we will have further proof from England that endemic rates of Indian variant mean absolutely feck all in terms of death and serious illness.

I'd seriously hope any further putting the breaks on leads to civil disobedience, and more.

NPHET and the government. It became less about health and more about pushing us to the brink of insanity circa last July. It's a war.

Remember in April 2020, when the most optimistic predictions had a Covid vaccine at three years away, Simon Harris, then minister of health, said that pubs would never re open until after the vaccine would be rolled out?

That Harris was so blase, too bad lads, social life is suspended for the next three years, tells you all you need to know about these people.

That’s the biggest myth being peddled in this whole thing. The vaccine roll out has been a shambles of a mixture of luck and who you know.

I shed a tear this morning. Count my lucky stars for how fortunate I am. Must be a real struggle having to wake up each morning, and battle through each day with your level of intellect. Feel so blessed.

Ok. Didn’t realise that.

In that case, the restaurants have a good case.

Will be interesting to see the outcome.

Science it seems has been long since abandoned by NPHET, Holohan thinks he knows better than the rest of the world... No difference between an indoor hotel restaurant and a restaurant, either open both or keep both closed/outdoors only... From some of the marquee's i've seen online you may as well be indoors with the windows and doors open...

Since they are asking fully vaccinated people from the UK to take PCR tests before and after arriving in Ireland (a total of three if partially vaccinated), it is pretty clear they are sh!tscared of any actual opening up.

Went on a spontaneous night out with a friend Saturday night in Cork city around 8pm. We thought we’d surely find a table somewhere but after walking around every nook and cranny in the city centre for over an hour, not a chance!!
What was most frustrating were the pubs advertising themselves as “walk in only” who had a few empty tables that were clearly reserved..
I certainly won’t be going out again at weekends until this outdoor drinking mess is properly sorted and can actually cater for the demand.

Itssoeasy · 22-06-2021 05:02PM

I heard the word “sobering” mentioned on the wireless at lunch time. I wouldn’t be at all surprised as much as I hate to admit it, that indoors in pubs may not happen on July 5th. I’ve this awful feeling it won’t happen. I hope to Christ I’m wrong but just hearing the Taoiseach talk on the radio I’m not as bullish as I had been.

Yes sobering was mentioned for the countries finances in a presentation given to the 3 party leaders from Dept of finance last night

The delta doesn't seem to be having knock on effects with hospital numbers? Why the pessimism? Everyone in ireland could catch it and so what? We've only one life, we're not coming back. Let's live it lads.

If you're going to accuse people of blatant lies, you might want to spend 15 seconds searching to ensure your accusation isn't itself a blatant lie.

That's about how long it took me to find this.

...April 20th, the day after Minister for Health Simon Harris suggested pubs might not fully reopen until after a vaccine is found.

Ireland again will take it's pride of place in Europe as "Paddy Last" when it comes to indoor dining/drinking... seems that's all we excel at these days being the Slow Paddies..
They better keep the PUP at the full amount for another few months.. just hope a successful legal case can be taken against the state with massive payouts for business owners.

PTH2009 · 22-06-2021 06:12PM

Is it this Thursday that there making the decision ?

Really really hope they do reopen indoors and don't cave into the pressure from NPHET/Dr Tony and keep them outdoors til Mid July or even mid August (after the bank holiday weekend)

The Delta Variant and the slow Vaccination programme in which a lot of younger people are still not vaccinated would be enough grounds to postpone

39 people "with" Covid in irish hospitals, not even 1 per public hospital in the country, 92,000 people working in the Pub trade.... it's time they take to the streets and protest if Holohan tries to keep them all out of their jobs...

Irish people it seems however love the restrictions and want more though...:mad:

No next Thursday. It’s a wait and see game kind of. It’s why I’ve been not bothering about when pubs were supposed to be opening because like everything, I won’t believe it until it happens.

Feel the same, They've been open how long over in the UK and around Europe and hasn't led to anything major but this is a different beast of virus here and it likes alcohol particularly when its consumed at a indoor hospitality venue

Only a tiny minority of reclusive, hate filled PBP voting types.

The sight of friends, couples, attractive young women, drinking in the scraps we have been given (outdoor pubs) is deeply upsetting for these misery merchants.

Well indeed, what Harris said there is rather different to what her was accused of saying so my point stands
