    Anyone heard the news report of some pubs staying open apparently the Garda are waiting for the extra powers under the new legislation to make them close.

    Was there an order made that pubs must close? I thought the only rule was less than 100 people indoors and then pubs decided to close themselves. I didn't think the government actually ordered the closure of pubs

    I can’t say what I want in fear of being banned, but I hope they stay open - if ever a town deserves and needs to keep the pubs open it’s Rathkeale.

    They haven’t ordered anything other than for schools to close.

    They have said outside gatherings of >500 and indoor gatherings of >100 should not go ahead. They have also asked for the pubs to close as they couldn’t go the distancing recommendations.

    Everything done so far has been voluntary.

    It’s astounding they do what they like but if we mention it we are the bad guys.

    It might be our last hope. The quicker this virus lands in Rathkeale the better for not even this rabid disease could last in the bodies of the local mutants.

    The front doors are locked but the punters come in the back door, it's time to stop asking nicely and enforce pub closures altogether.

    Had the misfortune to be diverted through Rathkeale once. Thought I had crossed the border with the amount of yellow plates in the town.
    It'd be a brave Garda trying to enforce social distancing around there. And to be honest, it's not worth it.

    Umm like bring in a sodding law?

    Other pubs shut as they didn't want to be seen as "that pub" that made money at a time like this. I doubt this place could be ashamed of anything.

    I can't see a certain word mentioned on this thread yet everyone knows who we are talking about, why do we treat them with kid gloves?The same rules apply to EVERY citizen of this country.

    They're not hermetically sealed off from everyone else, they go to shops and garages, touch the same surfaces etc.

    No excuse for this treasonous behaviour.

    I think it's a betrayal to the country whilst nurses, doctors and the general population go to battle. Even just one cnut that gets it through a pub will put serious pressure on an already over burdened system.

    Why can't the government close all pubs by law, this would allow them to get insurance payments. Fooked up country when the insurance companies have the government in their pocket.
    Padraig Cribben, the VFI's chief executive, said the current situation surely must constitute the very definition of business interruption.

    "Yet the insurers seem to be hiding between two arguments at present. Firstly that the decision taken by the pubs to close was not mandated by law and secondly that this crisis represents a 'force majeure' event," Mr Cribben said.

    I get the feeling you are trying to bait me.

    The Guards closed a pub the other night there was video of it posted here.
    How come you choose to ignore that?

    You’re comedy act is lost on me.
