Cabinet agrees to 8pm curfew for hospitality

  1. I don’t understand the logic here. Surely in the run up to Christmas this is just going to lead to a huge increase in house parties?

  2. Working in hospitality the last 2 months are dead apart from Fridays and Saturdays which are hit and miss instead of just closing they’re allowing to open till 8. How are restaurants and bars supposed to make a turnover during the day be better off closing them and giving supports than a curfew

  3. My heart goes out to business owners who are gonna be screwed by this. To everybody, all the staff. No way will this be done by the end of January. It’s so shit for them.

  4. Is indoor capacity still 50%? If so, if you have an indoor event in a 20k seating area, you can now have 5000 more at that then an outdoor event IF cabinet also approve that… What the actual fuck

  5. Glad that getting a double vaccine was worthless. I had Covid in 2020, it was nothing for me, I thought getting vaccinated was the way forward, it’s evident now it’s been the opposite. Basically Christmas 2020 again.

    How many people won’t get a booster now? What’s the point? It’s obvious vaccines aren’t our way out anymore (as promised numerous times)

  6. I hate to say this, but the conspiracy theorists and -anti-vaxxers have been proved right. I wasn’t one of them, fuck me after this I am now

  7. For every step forward the government takes it goes back ten. How do you manage to go from midnight closing time to 8? Just do the simpler steps first i.e. limit capacity in shops

  8. Remember the American tourist on here a few weeks ago asking about tickets to new year’s eve events they could buy ahead of time? Sucks to be them now I guess!

  9. Dirty fucking whores, couldn’t give a shit about the sector or the hundreds of thousands working in hospitality, bars and night entertainment. Good for nothing cunting bastards take away the one week I was looking forward to, absolute dogshite politicans.

  10. Lol. It’s so transparent its a joke.

    Float 5pm everyone angry.

    Agree to 8pm, well at least its not 5pm fair play to them.

  11. So… Could I arrange a wedding in the local and then sell tickets to this wedding that will be allowed to serve drink until midnight?

  12. December, pubs to shut early in an attempt to reduce the infection numbers: it’s a fecking disgrace I tell ya, I’ll just go to house parties and that’ll teach them.

    January, numbers are through the roof, HSE collapses: it’s a fecking disgrace I tell ya, and it’s the Gubermints fault.

  13. So much for closing nightclubs and COVID passes till January 9th for gyms. Guess that was another lie that everyone just forgot about in two weeks.
