Better than the situation this time last year when I could eat in a restaurant but couldn’t see my family who lived in another county.
1.75m will be boosted by Christmas. – that more than covers our at risk population. Hospitals numbers have been steady for ages. Closing pubs early is a complete joke.
This is fûcking pointless and a complete waste of time. It’s like he’s saying you can’t get Covid till after 5pm. He’s an antisocial , anti alcohol wanker
Close the pubs at 5 but keep the schools that are absolutely riddled with it open. That’s going to go over well.
They either go hard lockdown now or have patients on trollies for Christmas. Either way current government is FINISHED
Seems reasonable in the current context
When are people going to see that pubs and hospitality have been targeted by Tony Holohan due to his personal anti-alcohol agenda. He’s using covid to try to change Irish drinking culture. It’s a flagrant abuse of power.
He’s the one who started pushing minimum unit pricing too when it was being discussed initially.
It should close twice in case the first one doesn’t work
Is this NPHET basically saying the vaccine isn’t giving us cover anymore?
Given the whole thing about hospitality being a vaccine cert only job.
Can’t wait til this shit is over and we can put Tony back in his box
Throw out the 5pm time so when govt announce 9pm close it seems more reasonable.
In Netherlands right now and boi it’s lovely and peaceful after 5, I’m okay with this tbh
Wait? You guys are going to pubs?
So if we open at 6pm…
It’s a government ploy to promote day drinking.
Sooooo, pubs need to close and essentially lock
down, you have to be vaccinated to step anywhere near a pub, unless you sit outside where the virus can’t spread… so are vaccines ineffective?
nphet are shit craic
Hear me out – Close all the pubs but then serve pints in the schools.
Keep the schools open 24hrs with them air cleaner yokes.
Rotate out the kids and rotate in the drinkers in the evenings.
Offer the
múinteoirí double time to marshal the drinkers in the classrooms and teach the odd
cúpla focal.
Everybody wins.
Profit.
12 pubs of Christmas starts at 10:00 this year
USC, septic tanks, vrt, fuel, inflation and who knows what else haven’t sparked mass protests or shut downs but could this be the final straw to start a revolt…?
They’ll just drink on the streets from 5pm
It’s frustrating AF how parents always view themselves as more important than those without children. Schools will never be closed because they are essentially babysitting services these days, most parents shudder at the inconvenience of being an actual parent longer than their usual 3 or so hours a day and actually teach their own kids.
Yes its inconvenient, but you chose to have kids, now the rest of us need to be punished for that.
The pubs have been doing such a great job of ensuring only the vaccinated are allowed in, procedures are followed and schools let’s kids go wild, with no masks even on unvaccinated children, who then go home to their families. Unbelievable that the hospitality industry gets shafted yet again and no no safety measure for the schools.
Cue incoming downvotes from entitled parents…….
Did the hospitality sector bully Tony as a kid or what?
Government are fucked either way. Either they bring in unpopular restrictions or they totally ignore NPHET like they did last Christmas. If that leads to another spike it’ll look like they refused to learn their lesson from last year.
It will make things worse, there’ll be house parties everywhere.
Maybe a 4th jab will do it eh?
5th?
Down vote if you were had 🤣
What difference does it make if only the vaccinated are allowed into pubs? Should it not be a safe environment?
Who the fuck goes to the pub before 5?? This is stealth lockdown, we’re not fucking stupid! I’m going to start drinking at noon as a form of protest.
I thought you were taking the piss this morning.
Said I’d flick on Joe Duffy to hear the shite and heard they’re actively considering this? Well I guess quiet NFL pints on Sunday is turning into an armageddon session.
They are closing down the places only vaccinated people are allowed in hahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha
Down with that sort of thing!
Just change working hours so everyone can go drinking during the day?
