If Gardaí are given proper powers to deal summarily with noncompliant restaurants and pubs (even if 2 months late), there should be no problem allowing ALL pubs to open NOW. @VFIpubs@LeoVaradkar@MichealMartinTD @DonnellyStephen https://t.co/tS7ExtrlPT

“The one thing about the GAA is that it doesn’t matter where you’re from…it doesn’t matter whether you’re black or brown.” @LeitrimGAA hurler, Zak Moradi, shares his story ahead of GAA National Inclusion Fitness Day - https://t.co/lzpNEBDyMI - on September 23. #GAA#GAABelong

I met to a bar man today asking me “would the pubs be open on the 10th of August Noel?”. He was asking because he has school books and school fees to pay for and said while the €350 was welcome it’s no where near what he gets paid. Didn’t know what to say to the guy. 😪
While over 3,500 pubs remain closed it's difficult to summon up much enthusiasm for #JulyStimulus but increase in restart grant to maximum €25k (from €10k) is welcome

As the pub trade faces continued uncertainty, and ahead of today's Cabinet decision to reopen pubs next Monday, a timely reminder of what's at stake #NewGovProtectOurPubs 👇
Today we launch #NewGovtProtectOurPubs to ensure the 7,400 pubs in our communities can reopen and are viable after #Covid19. We are calling for a temporary reduction in the VAT rate of alcohol sales in the on-trade until 31 December 2020. @Paschald@MichealMartinTD
