Yeah that could be it.
Thereās a puritanicalism underling this too. Alcohol consumption is falling in Ireland but yet we still see MUP introduced.
Be interesting to see where normal hours are restored.

Doing this without NI doing it too has the potential to be a recipe for economic disaster
Itās not due to come in until 1 Jan 2022. It could be delayed now but itās on the books.
Youād wonder if all booze will increase as premium brands may want to and may see opportunities to increase price ahead of the discount brands.
I donāt think it can be delayed now itās locked in for Jan
Who is getting the extra cash generated I assume itās additional Vat??
Iād say it will drive down the alcohol content in lot of products as thatās what drives the price
Apparently itās not tax. Itās a minimum price so money goes to retailer or drink company.

The Schoolhouse in Ballsbridge will rent you a plastic pod for your outdoor dining not to be ruined by inclement weather for 100 euro
Or you can book a regular outdoor table and cancel if it rains
In fairness to them they have a nice outdoor area but the pod rental is taking the piss as itās not even set off against food or drinks

The pods look well.
Yeāll be paying 48 euro for yer slabs of Budweiser
Pop up gazebo in woodies for 99 euro. Surely ten of them for a pub with a car park be a good investment
Itāll be nice to see Newry and Strabane picking up the slabs
All Ireland final day will be off the chain

This was great. The positivity and can-do was like emerging from a bad dream. Nigel Owens was unreal, I am a rubby guy now
In other news Bord Failte published the wrong reopening guidelines tonight

Did you post something a while back @Lazarus about indoor being pretty likely for the first week of July or did I dream that? A letter from the VFI or something like that? Is that still considered likely?
I heard that too.
1st week of July weāll be in the peak of the 4th wave with 7,000 cases per day.
