Confiscate their phone. Tell them they need to cop on.
Pat is as brave as he is peculiar
Which one didnāt happen?
I was out friday night in a number of establishments, everyone of them required a cert which was a change from my previous experience. Of 5 places, all 5 asked for a cert. However only one scanned it, and none asked for ID to see if the cert was actually mine so it was all a bit of pointless theatre really.
There were a few nurses arrested over here for selling fake vaccination certs. They were charging about a hundred quid per cert, keying peopleās details into the system and then destroying the vaccines so as not to be left with too much stock. The cops reckoned they sold five hundred of them.
A screenshot of someones QR code would do you here for 99.9% of venues Iād say
People that wanted to go abroad probably
Everywhere asks in Limerick in my experience, but obviously I havenāt been everywhere, if thereās a problem Iāve never seen anywhere turned away, strangely (or maybe not as they have an older clientele) Fennessyās is the most militant place Iāve been, theyāll get you to wear your mask walking to the toilet etc, nowhere else bothers with that
Iāve been to a few gigs in Dolans and was surprised how many people continued to wear masks right through the night, obviously werenāt drinking but still seemed strange
If you have the courage of your convictions re the anti Covid vaccination then you might as well be honest and let the cards fall as they will
Thatās cause itās full of auld lads in their 60/70/80s

Out for an extended family event in North Connacht yesterday, no cert required as it was an āoutdoorā area. It had a few openings but plenty gas heaters and was very comfortable.
One positive for some pubs and restaurants is the amount of viable seating area they have managed to create during covid. The place we sat held about 100 people and was created for less than 10k Iād say with a mix of timber, perspex, fake grass and some sort of roof membrane. They are now hosting events that they would never have even considered hosting in the past.

Same throughout Fingal, outdoor areas at the expense of cagers

A lot of positives for the hospitality industry and patrons of such due to Covid, if they can look at (or afford to look at) the big picture
A lot of positives is probably the last thing the hospitality industry wants at the moment.
We were asked for covid certs last night in a Dublin 3 restaurant, but they werenāt scanned nor did they ask for ID to match the names. Iāve heard of examples spanning all angles myself - from the over-zealous āI know itās you but that driverās licence is out of date so I canāt accept your IDā types to ājust stand there for a second & hand me your phone so it looks like Iām scanning a certā types. Clontarf was pretty empty by 10.30pm last night, it was like a Wednesday or Thursday night pre Covid.
All the rubby heads were still in Baggot St.
