You were hoofed out of it if you were wearing a mask walking in, very funny, everyone knows each other, it just added to the comedy.
Rules were discussed a few times general consensus is there a piss take and it's impossible to follow them to the letter of the law.

Hopefully the pub is reported and swiftly closed down again. This is the reason they should not have opened. Idiot owners and idiot customers with no respect for the rules and health advise.

We are going to be absolutely destroyed with this virus in the coming months the way people are behaving. Pubs won’t be open for very long that’s for sure.

Your absolutely destroyed as it is if that's where your head's at.

Pre booking tables is essential, ****ing hate talking on the phone but I'd have to man up to **** and do it

Killjoys of the world unite, you'd report a family member. The majority of us are responsible drinkers, minority of clowns should not clamp it down for the rest. Otherwise, talk to "yeh, yeh" Joe and he'll put you at ease with non-committal jive.

I thought mods were supposed to be unbiased here?
There’s very little evidence public masks wearing is of any use whatsoever in public circumstances. The ridicule is widespread and completely justified.

Majority isn’t enough. Pubs should be ensuring that all customers are acting responsibly.
They’ll be crying if they’re closed again yet ones acting the big fella and not having people behave will have nobody to blame except themselves, though naturally they’ll blame everyone else again.

Ah get a bloody life will ya for gods sake. Your man was having a laugh and clearly embellishing the story for a laugh.
Dry, boring, killjoys like this ought to be locked away in a cupboard somewhere with a mask sown ear to ear

You’re just making things up now, yet passing off your own ideas as fact. Anyone not wearing one at this stage should get a slap in the mouth.

Even more evident that there was no point too the food rule

Maybe things would be the same number wise if they opened everywhere up the end of June like a few other Euro countries did

There's actually very strong evidence wearing masks indoors when not with close contacts makes a massive difference. One local dipsh1t came back from holidays, worked a full shift in a tiny takeaway, tested positive the next day, infected no one. Why? He had a mask on.

Plus it's asking the sum total of absolutely fook all to ask you to slip one on while you walk to the jacks. If you loved your local as much as you pack of princesses claim you'd accept that if it means you're not jeopardising them staying open.

Act like a bunch of prepubescent teenagers on here.

It's not pot luck though. Shock horror - internationally accepted medical advice is correct. Stick a mask on there and spit at yourself in a mirror and see where it ends up.

Absolute goons.

There's a reason why Rathkeale and various sh1tholes around the north of England are constantly battling spikes of cases. It isn't because the locals are smarter than the doctors, if that's what you were thinking.

The total disregard for others has really opened my eyes in the past months and so many have shown themselves as excuse touting scumbags. A lot of people that you wouldn't have expected it of either. A chilling descent indeed.

This story was mentioned on Pat Kenny this morning, hadn't read about it before

I'm sure this was all down to pot luck too.

I'd suggest some people lay off Facebook for their information for a while but sure that would go unheeded how else would ya get your fix for unadulterated nonsense facts.

Far cry from in here. Nothing but mass murders and myself sitting in the naughty corner.

Open the Pubs

Back myself from 2 local pubs both fairly busy although it's day 1 will possibly die down.

Few lads saying they want to make the most of it when they're open, who knows when they will shut places again out of the blue

Feel for the Dubs but there was plenty of "expat Dubs" drinking pints today anyway lol

What are you on about. Pubs are open for the first time in 6 months, great.
Nonsense like this just plays into the hands of people who'd quite happily see them shut down for another 6 months.

The sooner the minority of clowns get shut down, the less chance there is of pubs getting blamed. (OK, they probably will anyway, but wishful thinking).

Lack of social distancing- hardly the same as mask wearing or not.
Looking for the peer reviewed data and studies to prove mask vs non mask wearing controls Covid in all manner of public situations. Instead of this wing and a prayer guilt tripping stuff. Funny enough I’m still waiting

Ask yourself this, even without all the evidence that shows masks really do make a big difference, how can they not help?? They are preventing the virus from being spread around a room as the droplets are trapped in the mask while also affording other some protection from inhaling them?? Think about it.

Why do you think masks are worn in medical settings long before covid? Just for fun?

The anti-mask stuff is just the very same as anti-vax. Stupid nonsensical arguments against them going against all experts and all advice, the stuff your phone flags as fake news on Facebook.

Don't think outside of holidays or when I was a student was I in a pub on a Monday..

I would have regularly been in a pub on a Monday. A few of us from work would often go after work on a Monday to kill off the Monday depression, watch the Monday night foootball, any excuse really.

However I will not be going near a pub for the foreseeable future as it is simply not safe.

All that is lovely fussy warm glowing inside stuff but what I asked for is peer reviewed data to support mask wearing (Note; outside of the obvious medical situations). All I get back once more amounts to speculation and what amounts to “sure why wouldn’t ya wear one”?
It’s amazing how they’ve become the latest life saving tool/placebo in the past 2 months but through April May there wasn’t a hint of them being made compulsory and virtually no one was wearing them or gave a toss about them - yet cases fell away

Slag a mask, get a yellow. Encourage violence, nothing said. Just about sums boards up these days.

ardinn

Just back from fishing in wexford, drove through gorey and there was kids everywhere at 12:30

Chippers busy, large groups of youngun's out and about - not doing much harm as far as I could see and out on the street so not really a pub issue although I was not in any so I couldnt tell either way.

Lots of drunken banter - no rows or anything just messing and craic - I was kind of happy to see it but ffs its monday, was very surprised to see the town as busy - also 1 hr after closing so not sure what it was like earlier. Id imagine the weekend being a bit mental!

Similar story here. Pints were first rate as was the service. Everyone within the pub carefully adhered to the guidelines, a good time was had by all. The alarmists left shy of any ammunition, how unfortunate. What a pity that common sense could prevail.

That's exactly what we want to see. Nobody wants to see pubs closed but it's hard to argue for them being open when you've ones acting like idiots and ignoring guidelines. They've cried for months so I can't see why they all couldn't adhere in an effort to remain open.

Why? Where’s the peer reviewEd data to support it in our public situations?

Masks are the new religion.

We were told originally they don't work. In fact they told us that they could be worse. Sweden are saying don't wear the masks. The Dutch are saying we don't have a clue, so we're not recommending them.

Here, if you even raise the question of the mask you are sectioned off to being a 5G conspiracy theorist. Jennifer Maguire (who is an appalling person BTW) nearly got cancelled for even proposing a debate.

This is ****ing nuts.

Can't post links but a simple google search on those items above will give you those three studies, one by The Lancet, another by Oxford University and another by the University of California San Francisco.

But I doubt you'll even bother looking the articles let alone read a paragraph on any of those links and launch on an ad hominem argument automatically...
