A Tipperary publican says it’s impossible to function under the current Government guidelines on Covid-19.
John Harney runs Harney’s Final Furling in the village of Clerihan.
Speaking on Tipp Today he highlighted how a local family celebrated a wedding prior to the move to Level-5 restrictions.
“So on Friday at a wedding 25 of them could be inside and on Saturday in a pub 15 of them could only come but they had to be outside.”
“That’s the same stuff as was going on at the start of this pandemic – it’s the same reasoning. There’s no logic to that – if they’re in Thurles on Friday they can sit in a hotel all day and drink away and eat all they like. But if they’re in Clerihan on Saturday – their home village – they have to sit outside the pub and there’s only fifteen of them allowed.
