Pubs and Clubs to get longer opening hours

The most frightening aspect was that all these people look the same, gaunt, skeletal features. Exactly like you see the depictions of Irish people during the famine. And they are all on these streets where the developer cranes are pulling up all these shiny corporate offices/apartments or Brown Thomas is showcasing 5000 euro handbags in the shopfront window.

You know exactly what you were doing.

they wouldn't be let into a nightclub or late bar anyway, these places have very strict door policies not like your regular bar. So whether nightclubs get later closing times is not going to change what you saw. Alot of the vagrancy you saw is related to the accomodation and migration crises nothing to do with nightclubs

Addiction isn't pretty, pro-longed addiction and homelessness is even worse.

They took out the TVs recently too

Was hoping to see the Gold Cup there when I got the train up but nope

Pa Duggans across the road is a great spot for a pre train pint if you're ever stuck

Powerful words from the Head of Alcohol Action Dr Gilheaney on RTÉ at moment.

Clearly, it’s time to scrap this ill thought out proposal.

Sinn Fein rep (didn’t catch her name) on now saying there’s a clear need to do a health impact assessment before going any further.

Also compared the public transport in Berlin to Ireland - there are no similar services here.

AAI are neoprohibitionists incapable of holding a balanced view on anything related to alcohol.

This isn't ill thought out and should have been enacted decades ago

AAI are not respected

TDs acting as publicans mouthpieces want to stop this as they don't want the competition of new licences and cultural licences.

Not a big issue giving the normal noise 6 other nights of the week

Living on a street with 3 pubs, one across the road. Thankfully one across is mostly a day time boozer and the lunatics are gone by 10pm

Good to see Dr Gilheaney was given some time on the six o clock RTÉ news.

She makes imminent sense.

Full public health impact assessment required before this goes anywhere.

That Sunny Sharp guy from “give us back the night” is ineffectual, Stephen Kenny levels of communication skills - does their side no good.

Covid showed the public health organisations thoughts on alcohol and they banged the drum against its for most part

They know best for us, I doubt they have any respect for the OAP having a few pints etc
