They actually allowed for businesses that didnāt have benchmark sales to work off for supports to use projections i.e. If you were 40% off your projections it was same as being 40% off the previous period salesā¦ No idea how they policed it in practise

Colm needs to read his constitution.
Original though from Colm not that I heard 40 others aying the same thing
Colm has put far too much effort into his profile pic.

No offence to this lad with the arcade pub but I was extremely sceptical it would be a winner before covid came along but with covid here he is goosed IMO.
Agree, covid or no covid that place was destined to fail. Itās out of the way too. Whoād be going in there for a pint & play mortal kombat? Students. Them cunts donāt have 2 pennies to rub together
We took the kids over one Sunday afternoon, got a bit of grub, a couple of pints each and had a lash off a few games, it was actually a brilliant family afternoon, completely different from any other pub experience. But I guess thatās an alien concept to many if it was marketed like that,
It needs the students, in that location particularly.
Iād love for them to do well but I have a bad feeling

I canāt understand someone going out for six pints and playing pacman while doing it. Probably a very small pool of people up for that on a regular basis but I confess to not having done the research.

Agreed.
As regards activities outside of the counter & jacks thereās absolutely no need for anything other than a pool table or Darts Board ( space provided ).
Bizarre hipster behaviour

The only games in a pub should involve a deck of cards with a few hams giving out as prizes at Christmas

Thereās wan of these in Smithfield - Token. But thereās plenty of apes around to keep the games ticking over
The same apes youād see in a country pub throwing euro coins into the jackpot machine. Roasters and wokes are the same.
A serious difference in footfall in Smithfield and a house estate in Limerick

Is this where Scottās used to be? Near Mary I?
I had my dinner in there once upon a time. Proper roaster carvery.
It is indeed. I recall that carvery. Boats of gravy and piles of spuds

To be fair I donāt think their business plan was hoping porter drinkers would tip away at Space Invaders in between pints. Location always struck me as a problem though.
