The 5pm curfew will also apply to cinemas and theatres

1. They better extend the PUP to Spider-Men.

2. We’re on a road to nowhere

3. This one is even more baffling.

4. Anyone wanna share what the logic is behind 5pm?

5. I used to work for a company who have made everyone go back to the office because they are apparently essential now after 2 years.

   They regularly work 12 or 13 hours shifts but you won’t see the government tackling that Bullshit to tackle Omicron.

6. Will only stop once people stop entertaining it

7. Are theatres ever open before 5pm?

8. Thats retarded

9. Bad title OP, this is a NPHET recommendation, there’s no certainty that the Gov will implement it. It’s dishonest to frame it as set in stone at this stage, no matter how dire the data is.

   Edit: lovely to be downvoted for literally making a clarificatory correction, and not even coming down on either side of the actually contentious point at issue. This sub’s reaction is so immature and knee jerky when it comes to covid

10. I’ll lose my shit If they close just before Resurrections comes out.

11. Spider-Man WFH it seems

12. So Nphet are leaking again?
    House parties after people get lashed in pubs so.

13. I really hope people push back against this , either close the businesses or allow them to trade. This fucking shite that “ we didn’t close the nightclubs” while only allowing them an hour to trade is nonsense.

    There really seems to be mo logic here, The people will fill the unventilated, unregulated houses for parties . But at least fucking Tony Holohan closed the pubs.

14. Next it will be like the purge the government will play the angelus on loudspeakers and after that all crime is valid while vaccine cover is negated till Ian Dempsey welcomes in the reinstatement of laws and vaccine benifits

15. So the virus comes out at 5pm to infect us .

    The shit-show is fucked up .

16. Jesus, theatre is just getting the shit kicked out of it. Depending on the production, not only are they doing 50% capacity but they’ve lost evening shows. Unless they start doing weekday matinees, what’s the point?

17. Seriously , how did this letter (or rumours of what’s in it) get to the usual micro-celebs in the media?

18. That’s absolutely good night Irene for Panto season isn’t it?

19. No point opening then. Cheers.

20. I regret taking advantage of pre covid times more and more each day.

21. Who the fuck goes to the cinema before 5pm except on weekends. Wtf haha. Don’t think I’ve ever been to a cinema before 7pm in my life.

22. I’d love to see the logic of 5pm rather that 6pm, 7pm or 4pm. Feels like these pricks are deciding reccomendations using a fucking dartboard

23. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. With 90% or above vaccinated a negative test should be of the covid pass now. But we can keep blaming everyone else.

24. 3% of hospital beds with covid patients. And falling daily. And now they panic. This country is so unbelievably depressing.
