Last year I saw US figures re Covid spread. May not relate to here exactly but it showed that Bars were the second highest source of Covid infection.

Certainly not free, I see from another thread here, we'll soon have spent half a billion euros on them so far (over a hundred euros for every man, woman and child)

All this talk of the pubs opening indoors on the 19th for the full vaxxed or a negative test.

The fundamental flaw in the system is Ireland not having any actual certification system in place, and probably never will. Just getting an ordinary passport is 16 months and counting..

They are not free when you are travelling abroad.

Any thoughts.

Thanks for that

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Mods please move if so.

Hello all - quick Q. What is the go in Dublin City centre re. pubs at present and how easy is it to get a seat outside? Do you have to book pubs too like restaurants?

I have to meet someone later and I'd like to head to a pub in town with outdoor awning/rain proof etc but I don't want to get in to find we are turned away from everywhere. I know Bradys in Terenure you have to have a booking for out back in their beer garden.

Any advice from people who have been going in for a drink in town on a weekend recently?

Thanks a mill.

While NPHET and MM quake at the threat of a mild flu Northern Ireland pubs can have music back on from Monday.

Looking more and more like we'll see a tightening of restrictions rather than an easing. A shame. A lot of irresponsible publicans serving takeaway pints with no care as to the consequences have only themselves to blame in my opinion. A shame.

Its pretty remarkable really.

For me the real issue is them leaving it right to the last minute, after publicans have spent 10-15 grand getting in stock. This is well beyond the level of wishful thinking prevaelant among even politicans so deliberate malace has to be assumed.

Here in limerick what I've seen over the last couple of weeks is that any pub with a smoking area has it converted to outdoor drinking. Pubs that were closed since March 2020 have opened up even 'old man's pubs' . Purely to trade and have some kind of normality.

Same in many places.

At this stage nothing will stop Delta becoming the only form of Covid infection here. Bring on Vax Passes.

Should have set up a few pubs as vaccine centres. Two pints of lager and a vaccine please.

That's general licensing laws from later this year for some and 2022 for others, nothing to do with covid.

Sure there's a bill to be presented here soon with later licensing hours going forward

This magic "Covid pass" system just won't be done in Ireland, at least not anytime soon, there's no database or app or set of laws/rules in place for it, so you can keep having a pop at Publicans and the Vintners but it doesn't change the fact that the Government should have a system like this rolled out.

Not having a pop at them just pointing out they are objecting to the covid pass and saying it's unworkable etcetc even if one was ready now to go

So what's they objections if they want to open safely as they say they do then make sure everyone who enters your premises is vaccinated including staff and with the vaccine now being rolled out to younger age groups what's the problem oh of course people would know how many enters the premises can't have that can we

No they cant every premises has a max number under their license but this is not easy to enforce but with covid pass very easy to see how many have entered so therefore not as easy to be in breach of allowed numbers

I suspect this has a lot to do with the Vitners objections

Ah right I thought we were chatting within the confines of covid restrictions not general restrictions on numbers, I've no argument with that

NPHET should be put back in there box after the stuff that's happening this week

I was chatting with a mate on Wednesday and we were saying the same thing, we thought the furore from publicans, restauranteurs and the public in general about delaying opening up would result in them putting NPHET back in their box.

But then yesterday happened and what we saw was an absolute tour de force by Tony Holohan in seizing back the narrative and scaring the sh1te out of the country all over again. Even look at the headlines on the newspapers today, they are all generated by him. What he did was a remarkable flexing of his power.

At this stage we essentially have two governments, a political one and a health only one. Holohan has his platform with his daily press conferences and all media present and if he doesnt like what the politicians are saying he uses those pressers to scare people and seize back the initiative.
