Wow, the punters are in revolt already before the Good Friday close!

On a more serious note, what an outrageously scumbag thing to do. I hope CCTV caught the perpetrators.

Noticed it on the way in this morning. They really went for it, think there was just one pane left unbroken.

Hope the perpetrators are caught and made pay the damages.

I may be wrong, but I heard that all of them were smashed.

It happened yesterday, I passed by in the morning and all the windows were cracked not put in, they were measuring them so I guess they would not be easy to replace straight away.

All Windows fixed in Garveys Pub this morning.

Anyone else see all the windows were fixed there this morning?.

Paddyfield · 18-04-2014 12:57pm

As seen on the Twitter machine

JONJO THE MISER · 18-04-2014 3:56pm

Have they caught who done it?

Diabhal Beag · 18-04-2014 4:22pm

Any chance of copycat criminals have been greatly increased by informing the greater public that thine windows are repaired. PR disaster.

Never mind that, I hope they catch who did it!

Nevermind trying to catch who fixed the windows, it's the feckers who broke them that they need to catch!

The windows in garveys were apparently smashed in by a customer

A CITY pub suffered an estimated €6,000 worth of damage after an irate customer – using empty beer kegs – smashed five large windows on the premises after closing time.

The incident occurred between 1am and 2am on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning last week outside Garvey’s Bar in Eyre Square.

....

A Garda spokesman said that they were investigating the incident and asked for any witnesses in that area in the early hours of Wednesday, April 15 last to contact them at Mill Street Garda Station, Galway

He was swinging kegs around? What is he, the Hulk?

sentient_6 · 22-04-2014 10:31am

I'd imagine they where empties!

22-04-2014 10:32am

Wait. Are we talking about Windows or windows? Two completely different things here, people!

Former customer, I'd say.

Not very clever leaving empty kegs outside in the early hours IMHO

Or any time TBH. They don't own the pavement.

Redhairedguy · 23-04-2014 1:03am

Pretty commonplace, actually. Same concept as bins. They're usually collected early in the morning.

Same concept maybe, but it would be a lot harder to throw a bin through/at a window than an empty keg

You cant legislate for the stupidity/lack of brain power of drunks unfortunately.

Empty kegs are returned at the same time as a delivery is made, not returned seperately. So there is no need for them to be left out over night, I think you'll see this policy change here now.

Gremlinertia · 23-04-2014 9:58am

The opening hours of some pubs, it's close to impossible to have a member of staff there in the morning. Then again bin bags are left on shop street.. I think it's more down to the type of person that wishes to cause upset/damage than what's left outside to use.

Well that's just my (overtired) take on it..

Somebody has to be present to take in, and sign for a delivery, no matter what time it arrives at, or it doesn't get delivered.

I agree, but you have to allow for the lowest common denominator. Long gone are the days you could leave the key to the front door, in the lock.

crusher000 · 23-04-2014 11:08am

Sure it only takes two minutes to move 50 empty kegs and take in 50 full in their place whilst the truck blocks the road during mid morning rush hour and you have all the staff that should be looking after the customers down in the cellar in their good uniforms hulking dirty keys up and down the cellar. But you can't take in any kegs until you remove all the empty kegs.

Indeed, we can't bolt everything down just in case some eejit walks past.
99% of people have cop on not to destroy things, all we need to do is address the 1% that cannot help themselves.

littlevillage · 23-04-2014 12:12pm

I am no great fan of greedy publicans, but they are also a business, giving employment etc, ... and to be fair I wouldn't be too impressed if somebody broke the Windows in my house. Garvey's is actually a Hotel .. its a wonder the Night Porter didn't hear something .. and either intervene or call the fuzz. In fairness its a busy street with another hotel directly accross the road and its a very busy road anyway .. with taxi's etc. and I'm sure there's CCTV around there .. so the window smasher is bound to be caught. Hope the throw the book (or keg) at him (or her).
