Nightclubs and Gigs..

Can someone post link (website) to these tickets to nightclubs ? (Not for this weekend, but visiting soon and need to understand how works). Maybe Dicey Riley’s or Whelans. Thank you.

Are pubs actually back to normal hours yet ?

Seems to be a mix of last orders 00.30 and out by 1am in most of the late bars frequented

Wonder are they gonna start calling off gigs again. Had been eyeing up Dara O'Briain in Castlebar in January

how many nightclubs will open from 8-12, i would think if coppers was open from 8-12 most weekeend nights it would be busy, out around 5:30 after work on a friday , few pints head to coppers at 9 , dance, shift home by 12:30 lovely

Reality is they won't be open, Martin himself admitted this effectively shuts them.

Dickie10

See a lot of nightclubs opening from 8-12 should be fun. Perfect for a Sunday sesh

Coppers is actually opening from 6 every evening

I think some are already planning to open at 8 now, they had been closed for so long and now only barely opened that the novelty of going to a nightclub again has not worn off. If anything these restrictions are only making people more keen to go because they are afraid the government are going to close everything again.

The government moves and talk of restrictions are actually having the opposite effect they are making young people more determined than ever to socialize when they can.

techman1

The government is really pissing off the young people with these restrictions. We have the same rate of infections as Poland now who only have 50% vaccinated and everything open most of the summer. Where is the payoff for getting so many people vaccinated? we should have opened everything earlier in the summer when the over 40s were all vaccinated, the same last summer, the UK is already passed their peak and numbers dropping off now.

The government and Nphet are all wrong now

True and no way will NPHET/Government admit there wrong, instead Hospitality is getting a brunt of the blame once again but why aren't industry representatives asking for 'proof' hospitality is causing the rise in numbers ?

Me thinks there petrified because were entering party season and they know they cant use the PUP this time round

Is Northern Ireland fully open with nightclubs? i want to head up a few times in december

JP Liz V1

Yeah but you need an antigen test result or covid cert to get in after 13th December.

Midnight (so you'll have time for 1 extra drink before the TDs send you home to bed).

techman1

@PTH2009 yes you are correct, they can't use the PUP this time because they have already spent so much on it and the ECB is about to raise interest rates next year with inflation roaring.

Last year they didn't care about money, now reality has dawned, also all the new tech companies in Dublin with theiryoung international workforce will be getting sick of Dublin with no nightlife. One of the big selling points of Dublin was its nightlife they are killing the goose that laid the golden egg with their stupidity and shortsightedness

surely no big deal considering 94% of adults are fully vaxxed

Dickie10

rep of ireland fast becoming like one of those undesireable nations or regions of the world where most people avoid, north korea, rural alamabama , dodgy african nations, where theres all manner of odd ball regulations, defenitley not a place people would want to holiday to or migrate to. id imagine hse heads and nyphet would be happy enough if they could bring in curfews all year round, or a time limit or drink limit to hospitality.

If a lot of them do it won't that defeat the purpose of the restriction? Wasn't the point of it to get nightclubs, or the vast bulk of them, to close without closing them directly? Or is there a specific anti-viral rationale to the closing at midnight thing that I'm not seeing?

Dickie10

the covid becomes more dangerous on the stroke of midnight, new cinderella variant from the Kingdom of Faraway

Yeah right. Most of the Germans, Spaniards, French who work in these places are a- poorly paid and b- tight as a nun, whether well or poorly paid.

The idea of any of these people paying 15 quid on a door and sinking 13 7 euro pints is simply not realistic. Most of them are too miserable to get a bus, that's why they all cycle.

well done NPHET

techman1

When will nightclubs reopen in this country now, and will there be any left. Noboby in government seems to care but Dublin is going to be a very dull place if there are no nightclubs left for people to goto

All political posturing. “Look at us, we’re alpha males, we’re in charge!!! We’re shutting down venues that under 30s socialise in while the hospitals fill with people over 70.”

And mugs buy it.

Have you seen the case numbers recently?

Peoples health is more important than getting the shift in an overpriced pub with music, that is the simple reality of today.

I'd love to meet my friends for a pint, but its not really a wise idea at the moment. Keep safe and sensible.

Have you seen the hospital numbers recently? That is what counts, is it not? Not bloody cases, Christ!

Some people are just plain miserable and wants others to be the same, very sad

PTH2009

It's so hard to think places will be allowed back open from the 30th Jan esp with having the 'high case numbers' as the reason to keep the restrictions going. The 8pm closing is some balls and the image of people falling around the place at that time of night is insanity

Mid January word will come out that 'nope not yet lads'

What's is the 9th January date that seems to be mentioned ?

To borrow words from Douglas Adams, omicron is mostly harmless. Some countries are already seeing it that way and just monitoring hospital situations,ensuring vaccines are in arms and enforcing vaccine passports. Sadly ireland is still living in a perpetual cycle of fear and doom. That’s why I got out of the kip

My 2021 predictions are that by mid to end of January most countries with high vaccine rates will be easing restrictions but ireland won’t. Forever fearing the invisible threat from the omega variant, Hulahoops & Co will drag their heals

I have yes, you obviously feel more people need to be in hospital or dying, strange way to have fun I must say.

You don't need pubs and clubs to be happy, well perhaps you do, I don't and most balanced people don't either, plenty of things in life beyond the pub & clubs.

Anyway, feel free to label me as miserable for not agreeing with you if that makes you feel better, in your own words, very sad.

Yeah cause closing the nightclubs and gigs really stopped the numbers rising.

Only 17,000 cases today.

Those dam nightclubs that have been closed for a month now to blame...

This is what we are back to? labelling people who are getting on with life as granny killers? even though they're triple boosted and probably soon to be 4th boosted? Christ! something new please, because that argument just doesn't wash anymore.
