@fiannafail: 🍻 The rural pub is changing, but it's not going away. In the UK alone, pub numbers dropped from 60,000 to 45,000 in just 20 years, a trend felt here in Ireland too, accelerated by Covid. But there's a brighter story too 🌅 Some traditional pubs have started serving teas, coffees and pastries on weekend mornings, rejuvenating not just the pub but the whole town around it. "The pub industry has been fantastic in terms of evolving." 💬 ☕ Proof that with the right ideas, rural pubs aren't just surviving, they're evolving. Chap Cleere TD speaking on #TonightVMTV

what is cant understand is how i can buy a pint in the auld triangle in Dublin city centre for 5 euros and then pay 11.50 down the road in temple bar.. local pubs in Dublin are now charging between 7..8 euros for a pint ... pubs are overcharging people and now people are deciding not to go out because its too expensive...

how are h going to save employees and pubs if your pint is seven eigt euro trying to make it ten euro so that’s over half the hours wages for a low wage worker one pint where are they going with the price of the pint unless they reduce the pjnt. to five euros. the pubs are history but the government asleep at the wheel once the pubs go a tourist and social amenity will be gone forever snd i think that’s what the government wants them gone

Tourists come to Ireland to visit rural pubs, they must be saved as if the local pub closes there is a void that can not be filled .so save the rural pubs.
