TD Michael Healy Rae used an analogy involving pints of Guinness and toasted cheese sandwiches when questioning the decision of the government to postpone the reopening of pubs in Ireland until 10 August. Referring to scenes earlier this month of crowds outside public houses in Dublin city centre that provoked public concern, Healy Rae opined that the situation in rural pubs, such as in his native Kerry, was different and that reopening pubs in those areas “absolutely would not have increased the occurrences of the virus”.
“Because, can I ask you this question Tánaiste, and on the record I would like for you to explain to me this: What is the difference between a person inside in a public house with a pint of Guinness in this hand and a toasted cheese sandwich in this hand and a person inside in another pub with a pint of Guinness and no toasted cheese sandwich?
