Pubs opening

I was in a pub in December last year. A bar and restaurant set up. The bar was pretty full - no food and no records kept of times. A guard came in. When asked about the people in the bar the manager just said that they were having a few drinks. Guard said fair enough.

Those lads dong want to be bothering with this shite.

Pub we were in would just come around every 2 hours and take a different name from the table to put in a new booking

I thought part of the problem last Dec was people circulating to multiple bars/restaurants because they couldn’t stay in 1. You’d have spreaders wandering all around town.

Or everybody in a locality all in one pub because it was only one with the magic €9 meal

Or being let in through the windows of hotel rooms fresh off the tarmac from Heathrow/Gatwick if you were in Mayo.

Lads will be literally rolling home …

So MM saying it wont be too early in July, which means the 12th maybe. That’s the day after the euros finishes so that’ll stop lads getting too wild and having any thoughts of watching them in the pub. Only problem for Holohan will be that it’s agonizingly close to the August Bank Holiday. Cant have lads going buck ape then either. He’ll surely conjure up a variant or a concern that’ll delay the reopening a few more weeks.

July 5th, chalk it

The_Most_Infamous · May 25, 2021, 9:02pm

@Lazarus , if ye accept the proposed 105 minute rule, ye might as well forget about it.

Lazarus · May 25, 2021, 9:03pm

Unenforcable big man

The_Most_Infamous · May 25, 2021, 9:04pm

Hnmm…I thought that about more than one thing over the last 15 months mate.

TreatyStones · May 25, 2021, 9:04pm

Divide and conquer.
Restaurant/food places will be delighted with it

myboyblue · May 25, 2021, 9:06pm

July 5th, the cat is in the bag

Julio_Geordio · May 25, 2021, 9:07pm

Get the doors open. We can do what we want then

The_Most_Infamous · May 25, 2021, 9:08pm

Curtain twitchers won’t be able to go cold turkey mate.

Lazarus · May 25, 2021, 9:08pm

Fair point, depends on your local guarda types to some degree. Most I’ve been chatting to are happy enough to let you away with doing the bare minimum. An example will be made of someone no doubt but likely to be in Temple Bar or some similiar type shithole. Most lads if they’re even just a little cute will be alright

Lazarus · May 25, 2021, 9:09pm

Very true

Julio_Geordio · May 25, 2021, 9:09pm

They didn’t stop the rules from being widely flaunted the last time, they won’t stop them from being completely abandoned this time
