The spokesman for the vintners’ federation said that the video showing a packed pub in Temple Bar over the weekend was “terrible.”
Minister for Health Simon Harris has described the video circulating on social media as an “insult” to the efforts of nurses and doctors working to prepare for a pandemic. Staff were being put at risk, he said in a posted tweeted on social media. “The decisions we make in the next two weeks will be for the next 100 years in the country. We need to make tough, tough decisions now for the safety of people, our families, our staff and our nation,” Mr Cummins told The Irish Times on Sunday morning.
However it has been left up to pubs to decide themselves if they will close or limit the numbers they allow into their premises as part of efforts to deal with coronavirus. Fianna Fail leader Micheál Martin tweeted “ A message to those in our pubs and restaurants who are ignoring #COVI 19 recommendations on social distancing. You may think you’re fit and healthy and unstoppable, but you’re jeopardising people who aren’t. Please think of them and follow the advice. We can beat this together.”
The Vintners Federation have used all their resources to battle with the HSE and the Government. They should use their resources to appeal to customers, reminding them that is their actions that has a big influence on what restrictions take place. IWantMyPint StaySafe
Ask the question Irish Times.
Being driven by the big shots in Vintners as usual, over the years they were in a position to compensate downturn in their pub with food sales. Camouflaging the problem to the demise of the rural pub. Once again a solution that won’t work for rural Ireland 🇮🇪
Sorry!? They were going to say 'Don't close if the Govt directs you to close.'? How fake virtue signalling is that?
Why do they have to wait to be told?
Yep there defo top of the ‘unhelpful’ list
Just do it!
A lot of pubs have closed already. Are the remaining owners children in that they have to be told what to do or just greedy & see a short term business opportunity to max revenues.
Why wait..... just do it..... profit before people yet again.
All pubs in Tullamore have closed from that night
'URGE' NOT GOOD ENOUGH SHOULD BE ORDER
The Government should have closed the pubs last Wednesday when closing the schools.
Over to our feeble and vacillating Government.

Pmacgiollabhain Whats the point when the Unionists in the north are putting their faith in a lying fat buffoon in London that puts economic factors above humanitarian . Corona wont stop at Newry , Derry or Fermanagh .

Why wait for State officials?
Thankfully the responsible ones have closed already without having to be told. People are being reckless.
