And when will they drop the requirement for a covid certificate to enter public places?
Oh la di fucking da.
When can they come to my mouldy apartment and tuck me in at night?
I also need my nose blown and food chewed.
>Ban on nightclubs is not expected until next month or later
That’s going to go over well.
Where are the other parties in calling out this bs? It’s shocking that none of the other parties ever criticise the government or nphet for their extreme overcaution when there is clearly a large segment of the population who are mostly younger who are quite dissatisfied with the current status quo. Maybe they have done but I just haven’t seen it. It seems like sinn féin for example would be even more excessive. Makes it difficult to know who to vote for as alternative to the pro restriction politicians.
The Cinderella restriction.
It’s like those extendable dog leads. Governemnt are terrified to take the lead off as they wouldn’t have the excuse of covid to fall back on & they would have to tackle other issues affecting people, housing,health, environment etc.
Typo in the first sentence. More quality work from the Irish Independent.
Two TRIPLE vaxxed people can’t go for a pint outdoors after 12.
Some people still think restriction skeptics are the people with extreme views and not NPHET and the Government.
Anything other than full removal of these restrictions is unacceptable. They fucked up last year and they are going to continue to fuck up.
Why do we still need these restrictions? We’ve had over 20k cases daily, yet the hospitals have been able to cope.
We need to government to show some leadership.
Oh for god sake, will ye leave the handbrake off and leave pubs close at the time the license they pay for says the can operate until. This kinda shit is maddening.
More evidence that our government have an overly paternalistic attitude towards social life, events, hospitality, and anything remotely considered ” fun”. Like if we can implement them fast, why can’t we remove them fast. We know the curfew is not backed up by evidence per se, nphet have acknowledged that.
At this rate it all seems more theatrical than actually science based or practical. All it’s really doing is further punishing businesses.
Why 12 what’s the point of this? Just return normal hours and allow the businesses to use their own discretion
I do love the whole “we said we’d have restrictions til the end of the month but we’re lifting them three days earlier aren’t we great” attitude
“Speaking today, he said that the situation was “positive” but cautioned there may yet be another chapter to the pandemic.”
and there it is…
Absolutely fuck this government.
I don’t go to nightclubs any more but wtf have they got against them? Is it the close contact shit cos I’ve been watching full, sold out events for months now from all over the world. Just let the people enjoy themselves ffs it’s been long enough.
Rona doesn’t work after dark then huh
Am i going to be allowed go for a meal at 7pm followed by the cinema any time soon? or is that still too dangerous? Am i being too much of madlad Daredevil?
We’ve just been locking the doors at 7.45 and doing last orders around 9.15, once everyone is out by 10. We still check certs and follow social distancing guidelines. It means that the staff that were let go were rehired and my boss is at least covering his bills. We haven’t had a single case of covid that we know about so it seems to be working OK. I just hope that the reopening doesn’t happen this weekend as there’s only 3 of us available to work!!
Get the healthcare workers ears pricked up when the €1000 payment, doesn’t know when to give it out or to who, until they work it out…. Ireland
any1 beer in Cork?
So Superbowl night in pub isn’t gonna happen. Cnuts
COVID isn’t worried about in my workplace so I’ve been done worrying about in in my personal/social life a long time now, some of these restrictions still in place are absolutely ridiculous.
Ridiculous how they can be so quick to implement something but removing it has to be ‘Phased’ and is all depending on what Daddy NPHET says. Covid certs should be done away with and masks in hospitality should remain optional for each person. Keep the masks on public transport and shops similar to England’s Plan B restrictions and open up nightclubs at end of month once the current wave has diminished. By doing all this it will allow the economy to function to its maximum capability with pubs, restaurants and nightclubs being allowed to function properly. While wearing masks in shops and public transport might seem a hinderance to some they don’t have the same influence on business as would an earlier closing time in a pub would have for example. Then see how this goes into March and if feasible then remove the mask mandate completely as seen in England and encourage people people to do what they feel is right for them so if you feel medically vulnerable or that then wear that FFP2 or N95 mask while if your a young person and want to enjoy yourself then go to the nightclub or the pub. Its time we allowed people to make choices for themselves and do what they feel is most important for their mental and physical health.
Why do they keep referring to 12pm closing time as “normal hours”?
