How can it be so difficult to extend opening hours?
Fuck’s sake. Caving in to the anti-craic brigade as usual. Opposition should hammer them for this and make it absolutely clear they’ll pass this legislation speedily after the election, they’ll easily hoover up a massive chunk of the youth vote if they do.
Nothing can be done ~~in any reasonable time frame~~ overnight
They could pump 10s of billions into the banking system in a few hours but McEntee has had time to have 2 kids and we are still no closer to getting nightclub open later.
I know one was a lot more urgent than the other but they have had enough time already, the reality is it was a PR stunt and they have no intention of changing the legislation (Or it will be done towards the end of the government as a cheap election ploy to get the younger vote)
all they have to do is find the law that prevents this from happening and delete it
I remember seeing a near on identical news story around this time last year with Leo saying it likely wouldn’t be ready by summer 2023.
I fucking hate this place.
Final straw. Was going to vote for this gvt as a least bad option. Fk them, not getting my vote now.
Back in the day there were loads of places open till 6 am.
Government 100 years ago: Yeah we’ll just create our entire system of government, let’s do up a constitution, set up a legal system, and work out how we’ll do everything, etc…
Government now: Sorry guys it’s really really hard to change a law that says clubs have to close by 3AM. Sorry, it’s just really difficult, we’re trying our best. See, we have this law that says clubs have to close by 3AM, and if we wanted to change the law to change that time, we’d need to change the law, and that’s difficult, because there’s a law.
Let’s not forget if we have nightclubs open late then society as we now it will end. Expect lots and lots of road deaths. Increase in college drop out increase in alcoholics and drug users. I’ve been absolutely shocked at the bullshit around this topic. There are fuck all night clubs left, pubs are dying and people are drinking at home. Ten percent decrease I pubs and ten percent increase in off licences. Better to be out being social then in the house imo.
Just be honest ye goons. Ye don’t want it in law. Its obvious they only said they would bring it in for young voters. They actually have zero plans for it.
It won’t be ready this summer but if you vote for us in February it’ll be ready by next summer we swear
Wait.. we have nightclubs? I thought they were extinct?
Seems like nightclubs are starting to become less and less popular anyway so the whole law seems a little bit pointless really
The law to help pubs & clubs recover from the pandemic? That ended ….2 yrs ago. Ah ok lads.
Footage of the government trying to change anything
cool how this very basic bit of legislation has been pushed back again and also fallen into a bit of a culture war in itself. just get it done so dublin and maybe galway/cork can at least pretend they are like every other city in the world. very few clubs outside of dublin will be availing of these longer opening hours. pubs staying open until 12.30 if they want to is the biggest nothing burger of all time. GROW UP.
Amazing , so we’re not aloud have houses and we still have to go home to mammy and daddy after 3 for being bold tax payers. We are such a terrible bunch aren’t we sure we should just make it a 7 day work week so we don’t have time to think about nightclubs. Or better how about we just ban music over a certain BPM like they did in that other place. Ahh you know what let’s make alcohol more expensive and then reduce the times night clubs can be open. 1 pints 50 euro clubs open for 15 minutes… Get me off this island
Translation:
That’s a great question. We’re going to drag this out long enough for the venues to go out of business. Once this happens, mark our words, our pals will undoubtedly swoop in and buy them all up. Once they give us the nod, these laws will be put in place. Trickle down economy, Celtic Tiger 2, Ireland on the map. Thank you.
Fucking cunts. There is no chance for sub cultures to develop in Ireland because of shit like this. The extra time this will take will kill off the last of the independent places and we ll be left with whatever MCD/live nation decides to throw at us instead.
There is no need for this whatsoever are nightclubs not all closing down globally
There is a bit of fear from this from local pubs who are run as a single man show or with one or two staff members they don’t want to open late as they enjoy the life as-is.
At the same time they are afraid if they don’t open late business will shift to those that do.
They really are trying to piss people off these days….
Leo’s devastated, the entire reason he resigned was to party away to Kylie until 6am this summer.
Hard to see this actually happening even of law passed
No staff to work the later hours
No extra street sweepers to clean up after peeped
No bus/taxi drivers
Not enough Gardai to police it
How are they going to fix a failed immigration/Asylum system if they cant change the opening hours of a nightclub??
Just in time for the rain
And they’re shocked young people are emigrating
Man they’re never going to do it
Please remember this next time one of these ass hats come around and ask you to vote for them
Alcohol Action Ireland is must be some Irish deep state organization that has government by the balls. Sure, government fund the vast majority of their budget, just to lobby them.
They’re literally 3-4 people
terrible idea because our punters cant hold their drink and it will lead to many deaths from fights
