    The fact that the 1916 rising gets celebrated on Easter Sunday.
    It happened between 24th and 29th of April.

    Why in fcuks name is it being celebrated on 12 April?

    I was born on a Monday, should my birthday move around so I always celebrate it on a Monday?

    Because some other eegit will be moaning it was at Easter and why are we commemorating it when it's not Easter.

    In present situ it's an issue I couldn't give less fűcks about.

    I’m a guy who guys to shopping centers, city a few times a year and I like it at that.
    I had Friday the 13th of March of work and had planned with a few weeks to go to Cork and then Leo announced his measures on the 12th. I knew then it was off and the naive part of me thought I might do it on Good Friday originally.

    That I never punched someone in the lying mouth when I had a chance.

    Pacifism hasn't solved much so far, I'd be open to trying a new tack.

    People that throw change on the counter in the general direction of shop staff.

    Nothing to do with COVID-19...just those ignorant cretins that will give a cursory glance at the change in their hand and then lob it at the counter for the shop assistant to pick up and count.

    Annoys the bejesus out of me.

    Yep and just to add, staff that throw your change on the counter after you handed them the money in the first.

    The Easter Rising not being commemorated on Easter Week is a bit silly.

    Let's have the June Bank Holiday in January :)

    Do you think the people organising it called it "The Easter Rising"? Somehow, I doubt it.

    After the fact, it seemed like a good idea to tack it onto a Religious festival, I reckon.

    This is my whole point. Why is it named after a religious holiday that does not have a fixed date?

    What's wrong with the 1916 Rising?
    Then it could be celebrated on the dates it actually occurred. You know, like an actual anniversary.

    Hotels and bars that don't sell any local beers especially when the local brewery is just up the road. I was staying in a well known hotel on the west coast and they had all the big name international beers but nothing from the local breweries... same with many of the pubs in the town.
    If I'm a tourist or visitor to an area then I want to sample the local beers not always drink exactly the same stuff that I can get at home or anywhere else.

    Anyway, not much of a trivial annoyance at the moment ;)

    The reality is there is not a market for them..my local had O'Hara's stout on tap and got rid as it just wasn't selling..a waste of a pump

    I imagine they were busier worrying about whether they would be slaughtered or not to worry about what it would be called in the history books but it wasn't organised at Easter by accident. Bear in mind that alot (if not all) of these guys were fairly religious.

    That's a shame. I think there would be a market in the tourist areas if local food and drink were promoted as part of the attractions of the area. Local pubs could also make more of an effort to promote the beers.
    From visits to pubs in Germany and France, the local beers (from <30km away) were always popular, even in the UK local beers seem to be more popular in the pubs than here.

    It's different in England .. pubs can brew their own beer
    Here, killarney brewing have 3 or 4 taps in town...and not a huge seller anywhere.
    I'm lucky in so far as my local off license is a huge supporter of Irish breweries & there always a wonderful choice.... otherwise I'd be in trouble :)

    Muppets standing in doorways.

    I saw a woman standing in the doorway of the shop last Friday, facing inwards, using her phone, oblivious to the world around her and the lady on the street that wanted to get in. It'd piss me off in normal times, but in these days of social distancing, why would anybody with half a brain stand in the doorway? The shop was empty too - she could have stood almost anywhere and not been in the way, except for there!

    When staff finally got her attention by asking the lady outside if she wanted to go in, it was less than two minutes before she was standing in the doorway again! She didn't look like a natural blonde, but......

    Want to avoid the Lockdown?
    Don't like the annoying restrictions?

    Come to Salthill. Where the rules don't apply nor are enforced.
    Even queue for a coffee whilst you flaunt your civic duties.
    Salthill, Galway - where viruses don't catch.

    To enforce there must be a deterrent, I wonder if ‘small’ numbers of the Army cannot be used to augment the Gardai in certain areas where the Gardai are a bit thinner on the ground. Maybe it’s to keep the Army as a sterile last line of defense perhaps ? If army personnel, say a few hundred were given to the Gardai for say a three month secondment ?

    I’m reading that there are about 7,300 full time army personnel and 1600 active reservists... just under 9,000 in total. A couple of hundred in each province could take the pressure off the Gardai, and indeed the pressure ON the fûckwits hanging around in groups and disregarding the regs.
