Kissing of Blarney Stone resumes as Ireland eases lockdown

Customer Angus Fleming poses with a pint of Guinness in Mary Mac's pub, Dublin, Ireland, as Ireland further eases restrictions with pubs that serve food, restaurants, cafes, hairdressers and barbers among those allowed to reopen following the coronavirus lockdown, Monday June 29, 2020.

As the country embarked on the next stage of the government’s easing of coronavirus restrictions, bars that serve food were able to welcome back customers — pubs not selling food can reopen on July 20. Hairdressers, gyms, pools and cinemas have also been allowed to open, while small congregations can attend church services again.Mass gatherings, including weddings, of 50 people indoors and 200 people outdoors are now also allowed, while face coverings have become compulsory on public transport.

“With the public health situation improving, the reopening of pubs will be an indicator of Ireland’s emergence from the lockdown,” LVA’s chief executive Donall O’Keeffe said. Ireland was one of the first European countries to enact strict lockdown provisions after the pandemic took root in Italy. By mid-March, it had banned mass gatherings, strictly limited social interactions and shut schools, universities and child day care centers.

On Monday, owner Charles Colthurst was the first person to kiss the famous block of limestone, marking the occasion by wearing the jersey of Liverpool Football Club, which last week won its first English league title in 30 years.

There must be a few Americans hiding out here that means. Was it Kanye?

If you’re the type of person who pays money to lick stones, you pretty much deserve to get every available virus. Not just while COVID-19 doesn’t come with a vaccine either.

I think I would get drunk too if I had to kiss a stone others blathered on

The Irish piss on it

The man pictured looks like he went to mums, killed Phillip, grabbed Liz, went to the pub, got a pint and waited for this all to blow over

Don’t the locals constantly piss on it?
