I think as we settle down and try to get back to normal your tongue in cheek comment is probably the way lots of people are beginning to think. Older people will be seen as collateral damage.I haven't had a pint in Kehoes for months. If the cost of me getting back on that barstool is a few thousand dead old people then so be it!
Will you go for a pint when restrictions are lifted?

Many a true word spoken in jest...
RTE mocked up the Fair City set to show what it would look like with social distancing applied:

My neighbour ordered a few pints for home delivery on Friday and they were fantastic.
As a Guinness drinker, drinking Peroni from bottles is ok, but no substitute.

And pints are no substitute for the large bottle - either from the shelf or the cooler !
I see a pub in clonmel (non restaurant no food) is to open on june 29 when restaurants and cafes open despite what the stage reopening dictates. His reason is that the protest march in dublin last weekend with thousands of marchers not abiding by social distancing and no enforcement by the gardai. I think many more will follow, "Do they take us for idiots". As the end of june approaches the pressure to open will be huge, the government will no longer be able to hold the line as a precedent was set last weekend.
I think they'll find it a lot easier to shut down a pub and raise objections at the next license renewal though.
Is that a forum prayer?
I have to drink a good bit before I'm virtually blind...
That's a good price on the large bottles of Peroni. Must add to the shopping list.
My guess would be it's not just the social distancing between the customer and barman...
it'd also be about distancing the customers at the bar and then the people trying to walk around the pub itself, both customers and staff.
The bar tends to also be the 'corridor' in most pubs for getting in \ out \ to bathroom.
I know. We are getting into the realms of ridiculous now....
Hopefully it’ll be like the smoking ban, it’ll come out in the wash. It’ll take a while but eventually it’ll be self policed/regulated.
No vintner will refuse a group of customers that rock up to the door without a booking if he’s got a free table.
The Irish Media love to write the obituary of The Irish Pub.
Paper doesn’t refuse ink.
It’s fake news.

Ridiculous suggestion yet again around the opening of shopping centres...
They also suggest that special access times be allocated for those at high risk from Covid-19 or those who have been cocooning, carers, front line staff and people with disabilities.
So we should a special hour in the day when people high at risk from getting Covid 19 like frontline staff can shop with the people who are most at risk if they get Covid 19.... Unless of course they are suggesting a hour for frontline staff, a hour for carers, a hour for people cocooning etc......Sure the shops will be delighted be back paying rent, wages etc with those trading conditions.....

I hate to admit to, and ashamed to say it, but I have stopped visiting supermarkets beside hospitals, where staff nip in for their lunch items.
Now quite sure how this works exactly - 57 The Headline on Clanbrassil Street Dublin have opened a walk in pub shop.
"So we've decided to open a pub shop, what's that you say. Well it's our new look. A one way system that allows you to shop for great beer, wine and old fashioned chats."
