Image: Glynn's Bar AFTER MANY FALSE dawns for the hospitality industry, the long-awaited return of indoor dining is now just days away. But many businesses are foregoing bringing customers back inside for various reasons, including concerns for unvaccinated staff and difficulties with the vaccine pass system.
My wife and I, we sat down and we talked about it, she said ‘look, we don’t have to open’ and we both felt a sort of relief instantaneously. So, it was the right way to go. “So, it’s not something that comes from them, but I just feel that I have some responsibility about it as if I don’t want them to be working unvaccinated indoors at the moment,” he added.
Joe Sheridan, chairman of the Galway Vintners Federation of Ireland, says one in every eight pubs will remain shut because the guidelines are too strict. #Open journalism No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to youÓ Máille built an extensive outdoor area in Glynn’s last summer, complete with perspex roofing and a pizza restaurant.
It's because it's summer. They can get their custom from outdoors. I bet if it were winter they'd have a different view.
Wait til the weather changes, you'll see posts of sorry folks, we did our best to support everyone but with the Irish weather as it is we have no customers and are losing money so therefore we must open indoors, now we hope you'll support us.
Wait till the lashes down😅😅
The Problem here is the vintners who let the Publicans down, they should keep all pubs Closed until they can open Fully i think the Public would stand by them if they did that
Don’t blame them, this is the most idiotic plans they’ve come up with during CoViD
Nothing to do with logistical or health concerns. It's because they don't want to discriminate amongst their customers. Simple as that.
No mention of businesses not opening due to not wanting to discriminate. Journal no reporty that. Journal no likey honest journalism.
When we're back open I'll make sure to pop in to Glynns next time I'm in Galway.
Until vaccination is available to all age groups and mandatory for everyone who dines indoors, the hospitality sector will not get back to normal. I wouldn’t bring my unvaccinated teenagers into a pub or restaurant because I don’t want them to run the risk of getting long Covid.
Fair play to them I say.
