Are pubs/restaurants asking for covid certs in Galway City?

Interesting. I'm meeting with a gang of old colleagues and there will inevitably be some who don't have cert/ID/ticket etc. I wonder how the businesses handle this - seems like it would be awkward to turn one of a group away. Kinda reminds me of the the old days of the d*cky bouncer of the nightclubs/late bars.

Why wouldn't it be awkward? Have you ever been out with a group before? You see it all the time when one person is too drunk to get into a pub then the group is faced with awkward decisions - do we all leave and find somewhere else, do we stay and leave him on his own, do some stay and someone else bring him to another bar/home. Awkward as hell.

But I would like to know if people see it happening, I don't care what people think should be happening.

I can see it fading away over time, I doubt businesses can afford keeping someone at the door checking all this in the long term. And especially if you have to get boosters etc. to keep the cert active. Of course, there'll be the odd prime time special then with someone with a hidden camera to stir up the pot again.

It sure would. I'm the one organising and in all likelihood some won't be vaccinated. Quite frankly, that's none of my business as I'm not a curtain-twitching, high-horseman.
