Taoiseach Micheál Martin
“Forget about takeaway pints. No publican should be selling takeaway pints….it leads to congregations, leads to gatherings, which can spread the disease and the virus. That’s a very clear message from me and Government.”
Taoiseach Micheál Martin this evening.
Ah here.
First he came for the cigarettes…
Time to forget about takeaway pints, says Taoiseach (RTÉ)

Back to cans in the field so
Right, well that’s it. I thought giving alcohol to Dougal was the last straw, but I was obviously wrong as this is definitely the last bit of straw left in the thing. Basically what I’m saying is… there’s no more straw left!
What is going on? Do they hate the pubs or something?

This government obsession with alcohol is completely nuts. It’s a control thing, and they’re always at it, well before the pandemic. They know that (a) a lot of folk like a drink and (b) the pub is a social centre of Irish life.
You can’t do your shopping at 9am and buy a bottle of Pinot Grigio for the dinner, because TDs believe you’ll neck it back in the car-park and go on the rampage.
I did that last week in the local Tesco. 10/10 would recommend.
My kinda woman millie!

Bit sexist Janet.
oh I’m a raging sexist so I am :)
Well in that case let it out girl! Don’t be hiding your light under a bushel.
janet is referring to irish men’s tendency to wear sports casual/outdoor gear irrespective of the place, time or occasion
well now you mention it ;)
But is the Dail bar open?
Oh I hope it is. That’ll send everyone into a tizzy of outrage.
So, are places barred from selling take away pints or is it just frowned upon?
If the sale of alcohol had been stopped last year there’d be no covid in the country now.
People forget to act appropriately with drink on them.
The last lockdown was a joke. Everyone was under level 5 supposedly whilst every night town’s around the country were full of eejit drinking take away pints in groups on the streets.
You reap what you sew in the end, eventually we’ll have to knock drink on the head to bring this to an end, the sooner we do it the better.
Jaysus, the bars in the nursing homes must’ve been absolutely rammed every night..
In decades to come, when people look up ‘COVID-19 in Ireland’ on Wikipedia, therein will be documented the Nullzero theory to explain the rampant spread of the disease; ‘Twas the Drink’.
“Don’t be doing dat, we won’t stop you, but don’t be doin’ dat”
Just like bad flu you say ?
