That reminds me of a joke...just use the back entrance!!!
I see the garda conducted checks last week and reported that ,horror of horrors, some were not serving food. They will be recommending that these should not get their liquor licence renewed in September. Is this not completely over the top and possibly illegal anyway to refuse a liquor licence because a "guideline" was possibly not complied with. Before this a liquor licence would only not be renewed if their were gross multiple breaches of the laws such as open after hours, serving minors, facilitating drug use, or frequent fighting and violence on premises.

I'm bulling for a few pints.
All the pubs around are still dark. It's terrible.
But this is the "new normal" , a few pints sitting at the bar with nobody in particular is now forbidden. Im exaggerating of course the restrictions are primarily there to contain the virus but there seems to be a puritanism and agenda hidden behind all this to kill off some of our pub culture. For example the hardline taken by the authorities with regards to the 9euro meal even though this has nothing to do with virus spread.
Is there anything to stop pubs from opening with a "food" offer. A slice of toast, for 9 Euros, comes with two free pints.
Does the legislation specify food type?
Can a pub just start selling food if they never have before. Would they need to be inspected first?
