We can control the amount of people entering the pubs and traceability there is no difference between the pubs that serve food and the pubs that serve drinks. 

whereas private parties etc. are not being patrolled and all guidelines are not being adhered to. 

The size and accessibility of the premises should also be taken into account it's totally unfair the way we are being treated we give employment we are the hub of the community the place you can come to chat and in particular rural Ireland needs the pubs to allow people meet up for their mental health. 

I urge you please to get behind us and give us the chance to prove we can do this. 

We closed our doors on March 15th to help protect our country and our community we have now been cast aside by our Government and left to die so to speak there's so many Rural pubs that won't ever open again I am begging you to get behind those of us who want to back in our local community serving pints and most importantly looking out for each other 

Thank you for your time and please Support us. Deirdre O'Connor Croke park bar Croagh Co Limerick.
