    FFS this whole running out of patience nonsense sounds really childish.

    It's sh*t not being able to go to the pub with my mates but it's something that I'll get over for a while.

    I understand how personal choice works.

    I can understand people being annoyed about not being able to see their family, etc but the pub part might just be something that we have to get over for a while.

    Sorry pal, but you're simply trying too hard.

    Failed normie?

    Really can’t see them opening any time soon.

    Even if they did you’d be absolutely mad in the head to visit them.

    You don’t know who has this bloody illness. One night out could be your ticket to a bed in A&E.

    I honestly think until we get a vaccine for this **** life is not going back to normal again. It’s just way too contagious for public gatherings of any kind to take place.

    For what it’s worth I’d ****in love a pint of the black stuff but it’ll have to wait for a vaccine.

    one trip out to the shop could result in a visit to a and e!

    whats the point of working all week if theres no pints at the end. there has to be a purpose to life. there has to be a reward for good behaviour. for me its pints.

    I’d say we all know leo is going to rock out on some dark green platform, sniff a line of coke, then rip off his right collared shirt and say **** IT, LET’S JUST GET BOLLOXED. And so, everyone will be allowed to go to the pub and love life again.

    That government, Harris, Varadkar, the lot of them, they are despised by many here, have ZERO credibility and have the authority of the boy scouts! I honestly cant see their plan , which is basically no plan,to be tolerated here for much longer , like I said, given how disliked they are, based on their pathetic governance and lack of action, these last few years!

    If you want to see no plan, I refer you to Trump and Johnson's initial responses to the Coronavirus and needlessly excessive death and misery its brought their respective countries.

    Social distancing raves are the new thing. The girl beside the wall on the main street is not too shabby looking either.

    She actually got dressed up to go out and party on the street. That takes commitment. Boots n all.

    I don't know how he managed to get from Bulgarian Seasonal workers at Keelings fruit farm to interpreting a gang of drunk kids dancing in a council estate, as some sort of political social movement?

    A stretch for me, sorry professor. What opposition are you talking about?

    Kids don't neck yokes and drink alcopops because strawberries are ripening. It doesn't work that way.

    Possibly the relaxation of rules is on a Tuesday so the pubs won't be too packed when they reopen that day?

    If you think the pubs will be reopening on 5th May you`re in for a big disappointment.

    I think realistically you are looking at 6 months after the first schools go back.

    I see schools to a degree going back before July this year, whether that's 2 days a week or similar who knows.

    The Christmas period will certainly be interesting if no pubs and those not living at home expected to stay put with roommates etc.

    Staggered (no pun intended) opening - largest first who can accommodate social distancing. That's the superpubs in Dublin / Cork /Galway etc. and hotels in the more rural areas.



    That works out - we move down the scale gradually. Hopefully those smaller pubs that are more a part of the lifeblood of a community get some support in the interim.


    I want Podge from Leitrim to have his job back before I need Karl with a K getting ratarsed in Dublin 2. And I'm from Dublin 8.

    Pubs cannot reopen till a vaccine has been concocted & vigorously tested on human guinney pigs, before being released on the world's population, starting in about eighteen months time!

    THEN THE PUBS CAN OPEN.

    Ifs and buts, if theres a vaccine but there might not be an effective one.

    If you think pubs are going to be closed for 18 months not a chance, for that to happen they'll all need a serious government bailout. It's not just pubs it's the entire hospitality sector.

    Depending on how other countries do and our own situation you could be looking at late summer / autumn potentially. Its going to be a very very slow reopening whenever it does happen.
