The health authorities will really have to keep a close watch on any pub just serving food as a cover for selling drink.

I may have missed the detail on this so forgive me if i am asking a question already asked. Can a pub serve alcohol with food or are they only allowed open for food? If so will a person be served multiple pints when sitting down for food. When their food is finished will they still be served drink?

A restaurant will be allowed to serve you just alcohol. It's probably in their best interest to not take the piss. Expect to see bookings/reservations only (for contact tracing) and max of 2 hour sittings.

This could get a little messy I feel

Locals/regulars will get some leeway in places and will prob be allowed stay for as long as they want

If they dont like the look of you then its 'sorry bud not tonight', 'were full sorry'

A venue with just a restaurant licence cannot sell alcohol unless a substantial meal is being served and only for up to 30 mins after the meal.

Sad to see three campervans pass the door today in the direction of Tramore....Heard reports of a Male been rescued up the Commeragh mountains...the life boat also been busy in Tramore and Passage.

I know it's a Bank Holiday weekend but the 5km starting to be ignored. All the good work on keeping the numbers low could be wiped out this weekend.

It's more than the 5km it's also 2m rule and hardly see anyone wearing masks now. Noticed the last few evenings people wont even move in on the foot path and you have to go out further in the road to pass. :mad:

Disgraceful carry on esp with children around

am I imagining it, or are there groups of Spanish students around the city the last few days ?

I know from personal experience that a lot of the students who were in wit are going to be leaving over the next couple of weeks so maybe they are out enjoying the fine weather before going home?

Watch this space. The second wave. Coming to your neighbourhood soon. The virus is only surpressed not eliminated.
Wait until the 5km rule is officially moved to 20km. People will come and go as they please. Especially if this weather continues.
When that picture of Leo V surfaced of him top off in the Phoenix Park shooting the breeze it handed Joe Public the initiative to think it's all over let's do what we want.

New case today in waterford. Lot of people the last few week since they eased the restrictions are coming and going as they please. Know of someone in Portaloise who went up to Dublin to visit family and friends. Not to mention the neighbour and her mates who have not not followed the rules from the start.

Not sounding too fun

How pubs in Ballybricken will adapt will be interesting. Lots of customers who prefer to sit at the bar up that way and let's just say some clientele dont take kindly to stuff they dont like

Out of curiosity where do you drink since you look down your nose at people who drink in ballybricken 🙄🙄

I drink in ballybricken occasionally, 9.5/10 its grand but sometimes like most places in the city you can run into issues over stupid stuff

Didn't mean to sound so snobby about it

Proper order. What happened in the US is disgusting. These sort of incidents and oppression been happening for centuries over there. And throughout the world I should add.

However, we should be cognisant of the fact that we are at the tail end (some might say pause) in a global pandemic. To date 1,664 Irish people have died from Covid 19. Large scale mass protests should not happen at this time IMO as the risks are all too apparent.

We all can show our solidarity in other ways.

All our lives matter.

Yep, totally agree. While the treatment black people get in America from the police especially is terrible, disgusting, criminal,.......It's America. Obviously, there is racism in Ireland too but these marches just seem like tokenism, and frankly irresponsible with corona on. When corona is over, they should/can have all the marches they like for American oppressed, uighurs in China, rohinga in myanmar or whatever.

You're right. I'm up here in Dublin and there's lots of people visiting Dublin to see family from outside Dublin and there's lots of people living in Dublin (but not from Dublin) visiting family, grandparents and staying over (with kids) in the house they grew up in and then heading back to the capital. This has been going on since day one of the lockdown.

I feel a bit of a chump and I feel bad for both sets of grandparents (my wife's folks are rural) that haven't even seen or held their new grandchild in the flesh because we're following directives properly.

We didn't risk travelling for obvious contamination reasons, but also we don't have ID that links us to my wifes parents rural home and I've been stopped a good few times at checkpoints shopping. It's simoly not a runner for us.

Looking forward to holidaying in Waterford when the time is right. Miss the copper coast.

I wonder how many of these people would be protesting if the shops and pubs were open and the airports were operating..

Pure boredom, a lot of it.

These are the type who vote for Green Party, PBP. SF also been unofficially pushing for this over the last week. There TDs don't respond to questions on it.

Many will protest at anything.

Finally I'm appalled that this is allowed happen when people are asked to stay at home wherever possible. Do elderly and vulnerable lives matter?

If the person is important enough to be bragged about on social media but a lot of people are protesting something they probably half understand

How many people knew what 'pandemic' meant before all this ?

I listened to a chap that came down from New Ross being interviewed and saying that he took his life in his hand's to come and protest, well I have new's for him not only did he take his own life in his hand's but he also had the cheek to to take my life and everyone else's lives in his hand's.He should have been arrested on the spot.
