"The Dáil members bar is not reopening despite being permitted to serve food and alcohol under Level 3 Covid-19 restrictions.

It was initially announced that the Leinster House bar was to reopen along with other pubs that serve food in December.

However, Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl intervened to prevent it from reopening over fears it would cause the “reputational damage” to the Houses of the Oireachtas."

Definitely should be closed if everything else is closed. Work canteens are fair enough, but they definitely shouldn’t sell booze. For solidarity sake even if it’s permitted in law (for a work canteen with a licence) to sell alcohol.

Printed in a paper that is run by the government, yes I think I’ll choose not to believe what’s printed.

Probably closed as the Dail is currently decamped to the convention centre rather than the usual parliament building.

Ah yerra I hope they never reopen.

You do know pubs can still legally sell takeaway alcohol?

Be careful what you wish for tongue in cheek comment or not. You may just get it.

Some posters on this thread would disagree with you about it being a remote possibility.

I wish Kunta Kinte would give it a rest with the condescending comments on here. Any hope of that happening..

Indeed they would. And I would disagree with them. Its called a difference of opinion.

It clearly fills a need they have. So I'm willing to indulge for now

Any hope you might stop trying to silence other posters with a different viewpoint from yours?

And what need would that be exactly? Do tell.

Not trying to silence anyone. Just calling out bluffers who are spouting ****e

Perhaps the need the come across as a contrarian. To put across a different viewpoint for the shake of it when there is no evidence to suggest pubs will not reopen in some form

Where and when have I said that wet pubs will definitely not reopen in some shape or form? I commented earlier that other posters here have made that claim.

Give examples of the "****e spouting" that you are referring to here. That is if you can find any.

Every nursing home resident and staff member has been, or will soon be, fully vaccinated.

This effectively means that for the vast, vast majority of the population, they now have a choice of isolating fully until the vaccine comes to them, or taking their chances and re entering society. The vast majority of people who contract the virus from here on in will contract it from their own decisions and activity- a risk I am very willing to take.

The amount of elderly people you see out and about with their grandkids all year shows you that the opinions of this group are ignored- most of them would rather risk death (and the risk of death even among the elderly is reasonably low) than live like this any longer. God knows how many have died from their body simply giving up through boredom and depression. Likely more than have died direcly from Covid (lest we forget the creative ways someone can be classed as dying of Covid)

To be honest I think people dying from Cancer or Heart conditions due to the hospitals being overwhelmed with Covid is at much as a concern as Covid.

153 in icu with Covid means limited Heart bypasses, no transplant operations etc limited cancer screenings, limited mastectomy etc.

The societal risk from Covid is almost as bad as Covid.

Those people's lives don't matter though. The Government/NPHET/media don't give a **** if someone dies from cancer or a heart attack or suicide. If someone commits suicide in this country, who was asymptomatic with COVID, they will be counted as a COVID death. It's ****ing sick.

Those peoples lives definitely matter.

They are why we have such lockdowns. The goal is to make it so the hospitals have capacity so that they can be treated.
