Yes let's just all forget about Covid rules, lets all get Covid instead. This aul fella would be the first to succumb to it.

But he'd be unlikely to die from it. And yes we should be allowed to get on with our lives now that it's peak has passed....

If you are in a vunerable category, look after yourself and let us healthy people get on with the rest of our lives.

If you mean the BLM thing? There hasn't been a huge spike. People were generally I think wearing masks seemingly and social distancing plus big difference it was in the open air.

It depends how big the pub is doesn't it.

No testing no spike

I don't miss the pub tbh the odd drink at home or out with dinner is grand for me for the most part.
But if the pubs do social distancing, hand sanitizer, maybe mask for staffs I think work away, risk should be fairly low.
We really are moving extremely slow with pubs other places in much much worse places have them open.

Close the SUPERMARKETS.....

no more alcohol...slow down there now

Most of the old winos have dried out around here, and may enjoy another few years that they would have not had

Absolute rubbish...there is a massive amount of testing per head in Ireland.
Turnaround for results are down to 24-48 hours in general.

And the off licenses...

Pubs have clearly taken a massive hit from this but they have been pushing the minimum alcohol unit pricing thing for a long time so they can keep prices artificially high ...so you know...

She is saying sure work away and operate illegally....says it all

I was referring to the BLM/antifa gatherings. If you don't test these specific groups you can't record a spike.
My comment was specifically about that lot.

Pubs need not be packed either.

You could cap the capacity of a bar at one person per square metre for example.

Have the Gardaí and EHOs inspecting them.

If a pub is over the capacity they get a warning. If it happens again they get closed.

loads of pubs near me taking the piss. fairly packed. Garda had to clear a few of them.

A cousin is having big problems with his teenage son. They gather at the beach, drinking, as an awful lot of other activities are closed. But tbh I don't see the parents even attempting to do a thing about it. I have my opinions but I kept a diplomatic silence.
