Happy though the take away pints are done away with, should never of been allowed.

Well, we don't know that.

Bars are off licences so they'd have to change the law then, which ain't gonna happen.

Can't stop them selling them as far as I know.

Hardly.

Yes, a lot of people are. Alchololics require medical supervision to detox Other people use it as a crutch.

Suicide rates would soar. I don't think you have any idea of the amount of alcoholics in Ireland.

Welcome to the Real world.

I'm guessing it's an appeal by him for pubs to take the action instead and no longer sell as changing the law is trickier.

People on about closing off licenses really?

If off licenses were shut the hospitals would not be able to cope. Thousands upon thousands of alcoholics would need medical supervision to detox.

Riots would happen and break ins would happen all over the country. Suicide rate would jump through the roof.

You know you can by alcohol in supermarkets?

I'd just like to point out that I was told this by my friend who is reliable, that we would be in lockdown come the 1st week of January and closed until the end of March.
I posted the information here some time ago and I have been accused of trolling by a Mod whilst others said I was talking ****, trying to scare people

Cheers for that

A lot of towns and villages in ireland don't have supermarkets.

Off licenses only and small shops that don't sell alcohol.

The takeaway pints ire is utterly hilarious. Our covid cases spiked because we moved people indoors. Takeaway pints are relatively safe and should absolutely be allowed at the lower levels. I can understand removing them now as we need people to just stay at home, but the frothing at the mouth over them is ridiculous.

Missed the live performance.

Cam some one clarify the points below.

I presume they are all now banned as they are practically the same thing??

1) Take away points in pubs not allowed?
2) Take away drinks from restaurants not allowed?
3) Off licenses closed?
4) Sale of alcohol in supermarkets not allowed??

So you think 1 & 3 are “practically the same thing”?

Jesus wept.

Tbf, you can easily do things without banning them completely to cut down on the possibility of house parties anyway. Sale limits would be a big thing for one.

... they worked out during the summer how many teachers they needed to hire that year for the number of students they had

rather than having two classes with 15 students you combine the classes into one so you only have to pay one teacher and you only have to hire the one teacher. That's why some students don't get their options, that's why small schools offer fewer options

If there are 46 people wanting to do home economics then there is only one home economics class, you don't run one class of 30 and one of 16 (or two of 23) because that's an extra teacher.

I’m referring to the teachers already on the books. There is only about 60,000 LC students are you saying the required number of teachers to come up with a workable solution are not on the present payroll?

Keep the school discussion in the schools thread or there's no point in having a seperate one and we'll just close it.

Did I hear right before that there is a website that tells you where Garda checkpoints are? It might have been speedvans actually.

That might work, if alcohol was the driver of these house parties.

The thing covid has really shone a light on is the futility of life, and what a great number of people's enjoyment of life actually comes down to. And I'm not just talking about alcoholics, it's a melancholic thought to consider what things constitute fundamental pillars of people's lives like going to the gym or the shops. It's like we're just feicin around figuring out stuff to do under we kick the bucket. I'm saying this from the perspective that it's interesting rather than depressing btw.

My fiance's parents got tested Sunday, they paid an amount - either €20 or €50, and got the results (negative) 20 minutes later.

That couldn't have been a PCR test in that timeframe. Absolutely impossible.

I used to shop regularly in Enniskillen. There was a limit on the sale of paracetamol. Two packs per customer. Meant going to several different retailers. Can’t see how it would work out differently for off sales.

A lot of cities bylaws have rules banning the outside consumption of alcohol.

That can be enforced on the people drinking takeaway pints in the street.

License laws too. Someone gets a drink from a pub acting as an off license and drinks it within 100 metres of the pub.

The pub is in breach of licensing laws and is closed and fined.
