Pub record-keeping regulations ordered by Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly
Some people in government feel
They need to keep track of each meal
That’s served in a bar
And the publicans are
Unconvinced that the plan is ideal

My mam doesn’t even know what I ate 28 days ago.
I’m sorry, what now?
…28 days ago was a Friday so I’d have a small wager it was fish justine…
naughty ! (pretty sure Just is a lad)
my Mother doesn’t know what she ate last week, neither do I , ridiculous
Donnelly is playing a blinder so far.
He’s a nincompoop.
what a great word! and so apt!
I’m partial to ‘cockwomble’ myself, also apt in this instance :)
I like how that plays accross the tongue, almost poetic
Remember GDPR compliance was the big thing there last year. That’s gone out the window now has it?
If pubs, restaurants, cafes and even some shops (I was asked for my phone number in a paint shop for contact tracing) are collecting personal details for ‘contact tracing’. How are they storing that information? for how long? and who has access to it?
very good point
This whole thing is GDPR nightmare. And you’re right, it’s gone out the window.
Even taking someone’s temperature, that’s technically medical data. If someone has a high temp, the business has to take their details.
Once that temp is assigned to someone it has to be handled very sensitivity. How’s that data stored, handled etc
Businesses leaving themselves wide open to legal issues.
This the Stasi future you asked for…
If you tolerate this your children will be ….
Oh…
What does this mean really? The receipts are generated anyway and they are required to keep those records for tax purposes anyway. What is the extra burden? Writing a receipt number down in a book?
It would mean there is a book thrown behind a counter somewhere with:
your name.
your phone number.
your eating habits.
plus the day and time you were there.
That’s a lot of information for the barman down in Noctors to be holding onto for a month.
Edit. Noctors don’t serve food. Obviously.
sounds like the tab book
Restaurants have been capturing this data for years (assuming you reserve a table).
We’re talking about pubs here sham.
Pubs are supposed to closed unless they are operating as restaurants. This is too ensure compliance with that.
They already take your name and number and the time so nothing changed there.
Why would they bother to write down what you ate when they can just write down the receipt number?
Gone are the days of drinking under an assumed name, then?
I used to run a tab book, some of the names of the patrons I can recall off the top of my head, Q Ball, hot wheels, Iorn ball’s McGinty, Windows, Speedy, Lady Godiva, Lenin, Tea Leaf …The Russians ( five ” jewelry sellers who liked vodka at ten am and occasionally wore nice ankle bracelets, they paid the collective bill monthly in cash )fun times
That sounds like an excellent shop.
never a full moment :)
dull*
full in Norwegian means drunk. Now for ya.
you learn something new everyday
Doesn’t full mean drunk here as well? As in, “don’t serve him any more, he’s a bit full”.
It’s a Donegal thing, for sure.
Could be the origin alright, “mett” is to have had enough food, but “full” is specific to drink.
Taking names and numbers isn’t new. It has been a requirement since they reopened.
If you don’t care about contact tracing and want to give false details nobody is going to stop you.
I’m so sick of the sight of this conehead. Donnelly is well on his way to being the most unpopular Irish politician since Phil Hogan. They’ll eventually have to send him to Euroland for his own safety too.
Fascinating to watch the death spiral of this government. The incompetence is beyond anything we could have imagined. Not a peep out of the Shinners, sitting back enjoying the circus.
