There are at least 5000 cases in Ireland ffs. 163 is the number of positive tests returned

[Thomas_Brady]

Exactly, more tests will just return more positive results.

So business’s should voluntarily fold with zero safeguards in place for their staff? Are you a civil servant or something, cop on to yourself

If you close your business off your own bat you will have no basis for a claim for loss of earnings. If the HSE/government call out a closure as a requirement insurance kicks in.

Princess has had to do it as she works too close to people… I’ll be starting a go fund me later.

Places that don’t pay rent are self closing, where daddy gave them the pub, a lot easier for them to play the virtue signalling card then places that do pay rent

[gilgamboa]

Id say Benny McCabe pays a lot of rent. Big move him closing. Decision will be made for all publicans by Monday

39 new cases.

A second person has died from COVID-19

That struck me too. I didn’t post it on twitter. Loads of people clogging up the hospital system unnecessarily.

Fair enough, some landlords will accomodate with the greater good in mind. Many, too many, won’t and you can be sure their rodent solicitors are telling them not to, unless otherwise forced into by the government

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

How many of the new cases relate to Cheltenham ?

I work in a small private company which will definitely be hit by this.

Read my post again. I agree gov should offer supports. That’s separate to some publican justifying having his place open and rammed because “the others down the road are doing the same and sure the gov haven’t told me to close”.

[tallback]

@fenwaypark

I disagree. Its a clear lack of leadership when it is needed most.

As in you want the gov to direct all pubs and restaurants to close because they, and their customers, can’t exercise some degree of responsibility?

These balcony raves over in Italy look like great craic.

@Dziekanowski

Self regulation does not work. Libertarianism has never worked. It’s up to government to govern in a crisis.

To be clear - there may be a strong case for pubs to be closed because a cohort of the population are taking the piss.

I don’t think it’s valid that a publican, who has it in their control to close a pub immediately, can make that case and be taken seriously.

Good man. Please explain your enlightened approach to all landlords

Some of the landlords seem to be getting it as can be seen by the increased wave of announcements of closures.

You’ll figure it out eventually I suppose.
