It just put unnecessary cost and headache on hospitality who had to spend alot of money on kitchens and "chefs" and then got closed down anyway after a few weeks at Christmas.
What was the point in keeping hospitality mostly closed during summer they just created a massive pent up demand for it by Christmas
The hospitality sector needs to be fully reopened this summer absolutely no nonsense about dining and 9 euro meals this summer, totally unacceptable.
If by getting rid of the "nonsense" you hope to go back to full pubs, I suspect you need to prepare yourself for disappointment.
No of course I didn't mean that, I meant that the ridiculous distinction between different sectors of hospitality and the 9euro meal nonsense, and it was nonsense. We should follow what they are doing in UK and Europe rather than going on a solo run again. It just ended up being a media circus along with the obligatory witch hunt and did not contribute anything to curbing the numbersIf by getting rid of the "nonsense" you hope to go back to full pubs, I suspect you need to prepare yourself for disappointment.
Can you say what you mean then. You have a problem with "€9 Euro meal nonsense". So that implies hospitality which doesn't involve meals - so if not pubs what are you talking about.No of course I didn't mean that, I meant that the ridiculous distinction between different sectors of hospitality and the 9euro meal nonsense, and it was nonsense.

We need to get the city of Dublin functioning normally again or else we end up with a crime ridden Detroit with anti social behaviour, urination and worse on the streets and an upsurge in violence and stabbings.
The problem from the start, the problem at Christmas and the problem now is people congregating in each other's homes, not shops or the limited opening of pubs and restaurants we saw over Christmas. That said having packed pubs now would be a really stupid idea but I see no issue with outside dining, beer gardens etc. as long as numbers are controlled and rules are followed.
If it was nonsense then blame the pubs that tried to pretend they were restaurants then failed to implement the measures they said they would.No of course I didn't mean that, I meant that the ridiculous distinction between different sectors of hospitality and the 9euro meal nonsense, and it was nonsense.
Are you seriously claiming that not opening the pubs just yet will turn Dublin into the next Detroit? When alcohol consumption was a significant factor in pre-covid violent public order offences? When violent crime, public order, organised crime, and property damage offence rates have all fallen with the closure of pubs?We need to get the city of Dublin functioning normally again or else we end up with a crime ridden Detroit with anti social behaviour, urination and worse on the streets and an upsurge in violence and stabbings.
An Jasus, don't be sayin' that!perhaps the pubs should be the last thing to be opened.
Look at pubs in the UK they have invested heavily in "outdoor " areas and they paid themselves.Agreed - I suspect by next month they'll loosen up outdoor social activities. I'd say most towns / cities are planning a lot of outdoor tables / pedestrianised zones. Already happening a bit
The fact that pubs , hospitality and other businesses are closed means that there are no places for people to go to the toilet so they are doing it on the streets, no footfall means that the city is becoming shabby , outdoor drinking, juveniles fighting in the city centre stabbings etc around Samuel beckett bridge and the docklands etc. This is happening as a result of the lockdowns .Are you seriously claiming that not opening the pubs just yet will turn Dublin into the next Detroit?

...because you don't like reporting on your neighbours.The dogs in the street know there's drinking "barns", "shebeens", call them what you want, all over the place. Thankfully not my hobby, but if it was i'd have to say I would be tempted. Ah, in the bloody middle of it i'd be to tell the truth.
Why don't I report them? Nah, things are bad enough.
Sort of. Not neighbours but I do know them. Nice ordinary people who would do anything for you. Yeah, yeah, I know what people might say but there you go....because you don't like reporting on your neighbours.
...including give you Covid.Nice ordinary people who would do anything for you.
Goes without saying. A bit obvious I would have thought....including give you Covid.
