    You spend €800 per month on nights out? I think you have a bit of a problem to be honest..

    If he has the 800 spare to spend on it then he hasn’t one bit of a problem.

    Ridiculous comment. I won't be doing that. I'm as Irish as any man, people piss their money away every night in the tavern don't hold a monopoly on living here. Put the bottle down.

    You’re probably even more Irish these days as you’re a boring sanctimonious pain in the hole.

    Heard a Garda with 15 years no. Th job on Newstalk last night. He was saying there was virtually no call outs to disturbances no that the pubs are closed. Maybe most of them would be no great loss after all .

    Could you install UV floodlights and turn them on after everyone goes home each night?

    They have UV lamps that disinfect right?

    I dont mind either way I’m all for people being able to go to the pub if they want. Personally I prefer restaurants to pubs but each to their own. Just saying that the guards said call outs to violent disturbances had almost vanished.

    I said it was discussed at a VFI, and that was their opinion.

    I hope it's wrong but doubtful.

    I would take a guess at October for pubs re-opening myself. Schools will be September, which will be the same time as offices. Pubs won't re-open untill after schools and offices are back anyways.

    Even when schools and offices go back, we will need to see how things are. We may need to even roll back to the previous level of restrictions if new cases rise again then.

    Pubs and large crowds are the best opportunity for virus spread.
    Beer gardens with enough space when it's sunny could be OK, but you can't run those profitably here.

    Looks like the EU might need to introduce CHP, the common hospitality policy. Subsides for closed businesses

    A lot won't bother.

    Especially those being leased.

    Gives people a chance to just walk away, after taking stock of whether its worth it or not.

    Next year? Ha

    There opening bars in Italy by end of May.

    You're deluded if you think the bars will not be allowed to open here beyond July, at the very latest

    No one washes their hands in pubs, they go for a piss and leave half of it on the floor, all over their hands, all over door handles, counters, money etc.

    Been going to the pub for nearly 30 years now and I could count on one hand the amount of scraps I've seen kicking off, its mostly in the chipper at the end of the night that lads take a shot for the title.

    Fact, I think allot of people will be looking at pub toilets more now and actually making a deal to pubblicano to clean their bathrooms more often and upgrade them. When you think of how crap most of them are when you only think properly. Like something out of crèche.
