RESTAURANTS AND PUBS serving food are to be free to reopen from next Friday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed this evening.
The phased plan includes a part-reopening of the hospitality sector but pubs that don’t serve food will not be allowed reopen their doors in December. Takeaway drinks-only will be allowed from so-called ‘wet pubs’.Businesses that can’t reopen are to receive a double payment of the government’s Covid Restrictions Support Scheme for a three-week period beginning 21 December.
The move means that pubs which had partnered up with nearby restaurants to provide food will not be allowed to reopen. This move had been trailed in recent days and was described as “vindictive” by the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youAnswering media questions about the distinction between pubs that do and do not serve food, Martin said it was his view that if wet pubs were to reopen “we would be looking at far higher numbers far faster in the coming weeks”.
Not as strong as the evidence as him been out of his depth 🙊🙊🙊🤙🤙🤙 W⚓
He should provide the data, not make wild statements and expect everyone to believe him. There is no evidence, as wet pubs have been shut most of the time - something else that was left open is probably the primary driver, based on actual data. Mehole 👎
Bullshit
