Was in Kerry for 2 nights the week, stayed in Tralee and Killarney. Both hotel bars where packed on both evenings. Not much spacing between tables etc. people standing around tables drinking, which I have no problem with.

Really feel for the restaurants and bars around the country for not being able to open if this is standard across the countries hotels.

Well no one in this thread has to worry about the phrase "its the hope that kills you" pessimists everyone of yas

I'm hoping things reopen, I quit my bar job over xmas, management were not following any safety regulations and I live at home with 2 older parents that I would never get over making them sick. They've both had their 2 doses now and I should be getting my first soon and will be hoping to go back somewhere new if for no other reason than I'm nearly freaking broke! From talking to others in the industry around me they seem more confident than the average boardsie at least...

yea mid August was my gut feeling for indoor i think we could be lucky to see that, they will literally give hospitality a 2 week summer before schools reopen, OMG . this has turned into one sick sick country.

Callin it now, closed til after aug bank holiday

My 2 cents? There's no way Hulahan is going to allow indoor dining, he'll put the fear of God into MMartin and there's no way he'll stand up to that...

Indoor dining in September... until they push the rest of the AZ Vacc on the 20's and 30's...

We all know the answer to that

Delay delay delay

I don’t know, MM did mention businesses need notice as to when they can open to buy stock etc…
It’s a long shot but I hope the reason he’s getting NPHET to meet tomorrow is so that he can give that notice. The fact they’re bringing forward gives me some hope, if they left it until Thursday Friday then 100% it was being delayed

Pauliedragon

This is obviously a pure guess but I'd say it'll be delayed but only for a short period. There will be complete anarchy if if they delay indoor hospitality again by more than a couple of weeks. It's political suicide. MM will be saying to Tony H help me out here I need these places open to give me something to work with. Tony will say ok but 2 weeks at least get the vaccines in as fast as you can in that time and your ok.

I wouldn't be too sure. High restrictions but re opening? (Will people obey them)

Here’s what he said

The last 24 seconds are the positive part.

Makes no difference. The man is an idiot and will blindly follow what Tony tells him to do. As if that lad will recommend opening pubs.

When it comes to lifting, who actually decides?

Is it a cabinet vote?

Two out of the three coalition leaders?

Or David Brent himself alone?

Apparently the Taoiseach was on the Week in Politics earlier and was a bit more positive about a July 5th reopening.

I think it just proves that there is no point in speculating too much and we just have to wait until the big meeting next week to see what actually happens. Think it's on Tuesday now.

I suppose when election time comes Leo has to explain exactly what differs FG from FF, sluggish re opening will be his card to play.

That stuttering bumbling gobshyte Mehole surely has to come out and say July 26th, no ifs or buts, no matter if we are on 5000 cases a day.

I heard a bit on the radio news yesterday, 2- 3 weeks has now become a request of 4 to 5 weeks from some gobdaw off NPHET.

Listening to the chatter on the radio and from briefings and I have to say there is no way that indoor drinking is happening. I have heard on the grapevine from a source in FG that a compromise of indoor dining being allowed again with the time limits, so differentiating from wet pubs, which is something at least.

Ah your old FG source.

Your troll game is week, fam, as the kidz would say.

Dr T wouldn't allow the time limits option. These lads know it would be unenforced as the Gardai of this country have, aside from the Holy Joes down in Galway, have had it up to here with this nonsense as much as anybody else. I can imagine Garda morale in central Dublin, D15, Ballsbridge must be fairly low given they are tasked with enforcing Covid breaches while being ordered to stand down while BLM wasters are allowed to hold illegal protests with impunity.

While the possibility of three weeks was given, as I said earlier that would make the first open weekend a bank holiday weekend. Not a chance we will be allowed that, it runs the risk of people enjoying themselves and too many pubs that are on their last legs just about surviving.

A five or so week extension from July 5th will be just enough to permanently force a few more old man pubs out of existence just as NPHET wants.

Something I just realised the other day. Due to a combination of Covid cancellations, FIFA corruption and our backwards, sycophantic government, there will be a six year gap, where normally it is two, between the last and next time I will have enjoyed watching international tournament football in the height of summer inside a crowded pub with a few friends (2018 being the last, 2024 being the next. Hopefully). Summer tournaments hold a bit of a reasonance with me pub wise as World Cup summer 2002 was the first time I managed to successfully pass myself off as an adult with any regularity.

Allowing us watch any of the Euros inside was never on the cards. Imagine if we had actually qualified for it (although let's be honest, the chances of us having been in it by July 5th were fairly slim :pac: )

Agreed. I don't understand how the UK aren't on the mandatory quarantine list..it makes a mockery of hunting pubs won't be opening. I heard there are 6 million pints ready for the reopening. If they are wasted it will be a national scandal.

2 bigger local pubs that refused to open if only outdoor have started posting to Facebook about the excitement of reopening on the 5th. Pics of new menus and the likes so at least the vintners in my area seem confident it is going ahead.

You misunderstand me,whatever amount of weeks we are behind the UK in roll out is amplified by our cautious administration. Therefore when I saw the UK delayed their freedom day by a month I knew that the delta variant was serious and there's no way we'd be reopening as planned.I realise their reopening was the end of all restrictions and ours in less ambitious, we're not exactly comparing like with like but the point stands.

What makes it more ridiculous is our government comparing the spread there like for like. The spread there started in neighbourhoods full of people from the Indian subcontinent, many living in three generation households. We don't have communities from there with their own enclaves, the spread was never going to be as rapid here.
