8 P.M. Curfew on Ireland’s Pubs Starts Monday, Thanks To Omicron

Irish Central

Ireland’s leader Michael Martin announced, on RTE’s Six One News, that the Irish government has agreed to implement an 8pm closure of hospitality venues, live events including cinemas and theaters, from Sunday, Dec 19, 2021. These limitations will stay in place until Jan 30, 2022.

The HSE has announced that the Omicron variant of Covid now accounts for 35% of cases and it’s expected to become the dominant variant in Ireland within four to five days. The new variant spreads two to five times faster than the Delta variant. More

  1. Oh. My. Cron!

    It’s outlandishly contagious after 8 p.m. for the Irish. But it’s only a wee bit contagious in the a.m. when it be time to work.

    (Your curfew time may vary based on your local tyranny level.)

  2. When I was in Ireland, the pubs were the best I’ve ever been in. Even on week days, especially in smaller towns, it seems as though the whole community would be there.

    I enjoyed the large bars in Galway and Dublin but the small ones and always with some strange names, were great. Can’t imagine that an 8 O’Clock closing time is going to go over well.

    And when you think about, WTF does closing a pub early accomplish? It’s as though TPTB are making these senseless edicts as evidence of the power they believe they have over us.

    And over a flu strain that’s relatively benign?

    In my best Irish accent, Go Fook Yerself.

  3. The Ohmeecrone variant: two to five times more transmissible* and five to ten times less virulent*.

    (*both claims are wild ass guesses – the former by so-called health experts, and the latter by me. Both are equally reliable.)

  5. On the entire fucking planet, exactly one person has died WITH Omicron; not FROM Omicron. This bullshit has exactly bupkis to do with public health. This is climate cult slow vice genocide in action. Just watch. Over the coming decades, each year will become successively shittier than the last purely due to insane government climate edicts, all of which are completely fucking bat shit. They’re trying to provoke a gradual slope die off of humanity of massive proportions over time… billions is the goal.

  6. It’s all bullshit.

    It’s nothing more than a base of power for those in office; they’re so important at this moment in history; they’re “following the science” and shepherding humanity through these tumultuous, perilous times.

    People who desire power above all else crave this level of instability and insanity. It empowers them.

  7. I hooked up with a cabbie in Waterford outside of the train station. Long story short, we ended up that night in his local pub. Had been drinking that black beer all day and we were lit.

    So we’re sitting at a table in a pretty packed pub and this guy breaks out, in the most beautiful deep baritone, literally out of nowhere, and sings an Irish song about a lost love.

    The place went totally silent for several minutes and erupted in standing ovations and applause when he was done.

    Truly one of the most memorable events in my life.

  8. Insanity isn’t rational.
    Can’t get omicron before 8?
    Smells like bullshit.
    The fookin micks have killed over less than this.
    Damn, I miss Moe Tom.

  9. Four years ago, I walked into a pub along the riverfront in Waterford, Ireland and asked the bartender for a pint of bitter. I thought those Irish bastards were going to kill me before I could get out of there. lol

  10. MMinWA DECEMBER 18, 2021 AT 9:33 PM: I have luckily or unluckily one of those voices and have sang(sung?) in a bar and received the same responce. I have also been told to hush up because my voice and laugh is loud.

  11. Hambone, Irish music? Just kidding, I’ve got a bit of Irish in me too. But some of my favorite Irish music is Rory Gallagher, and others like him. I guess there is some good Irish music.

  12. Oh, fer feck sake…
    The Irish would chance a bomb in the pub for a bit of craic. Ye tink a bat virus variant would keep them away?! Jaysus, Mayree, and Joseph, ye’ve no idea.

  13. “The COVID wakes up at Seven thirty and hits the pubs at eight. Stays up all night in Ireland then back to bed at six thirty so the day shift folks are safe.”

    -Kinda like a certain ethnic group of the inner cities…
