The historic Bewley’s cafe on Grafton Street is to close permanently with the loss of 110 jobs. Staff were informed of the decision by the operator of the cafe, Bewley’s Ltd, which is owned by artist Paddy Campbell.
The closure has been blamed on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy, which has been in lockdown since March, and the €1.5 million annual rental cost on the protected structure.

Shit is hitting the ventilators in Donny Ts USA over 2500 dead people today so opening up the super lovely gorgeous climatic wank stained country is beginning to shit in Donny Ts mouth .Will Leo and Paggo and the Early School leaver and the invisible minister for justice have to review their plans to unlock the country .A lot of businesses going to suffer if they do not open .

The States affected most harshly are those that don't/didn't vote for Trump, so in reality the crazy gobshite doesn't care about them.

Trump mad as a brush claiming Covid 19 is the worst attack on America since Pearl harbour or 911.
It must be very annoying not having someone you can bomb back to the stone age.

China could have contained its better and earlier

You got to admire his logic .He recons they should stop testing as testing finds more cases and makes America Look bad .Can they extradite me if I say I hope somebody shoots him .Is there not one man left in America .If you asked most americans to shoot a child from two miles away with a high powered rifle while dressed in an Army uniform because their country needs them they would all do it now their country needs someone to shoot a big pile of Orange Shite and no takers .

I've a brother in china
The news for china about deaths is fake these 100 000s not 10 000s they didnt contain it or warn the rest of us early enough
Also theres still people dying today that's not reported
They willing to let their own die and not let foreigners in because their deaths would be noticed
The creations are going non stop over there
Dont believe or trust Chinese figures
-
Yanks are lying as well Texas are burning a few 100 a day but recording about 20 or 30 deaths ,Texas is a Big Republican Vote for Trump .The real number for the states is nearer 200 k than 70k .Russia is riddled .I have family in Africa and to keep China Happy as they are big investors A lot of African countries are not even counting the cases .Since Trump reopened America the number of recorded deaths has been over 2000 a day ,it was down below that .Are we doing the right thing going back to work so soon .

The only time I need an actual newspaper is when I'm shaving me head.I didn't think the Herald was still going.

Why do you need a newspaper to shave your head?
-
To catch the clippings on the floor then straight into the bin.Using anything that isn't disposable that has to be cleaned just takes more time.I'm busy..

The local free rag hasn't been distributed since the pandemic hit......luckily the weather has been nice and i've been shaving me noggin in the back garden,
Anyways......kitchen all prepped for painting....laters!!

Well yis all know which businesssssssss I hope don't open again
-
Daly without pub work you'll have very little at night.Pubs are great for getting out of the gaff.
-
Not the pubs in talking about
-
The despatchers?
They can all avail of the government wage top-up so they're unlikely to be in trouble.

Truth be told Hailo revolutionised the Taxi business here, more people use Taxis as a result of their innovation, hopefully they continue to do so after the storm
-
HAILO could do 50% off nappies for drivers, considering they'll shit themselves every time they hear a cough or sneeze in the back.
-
I dont think many of the pubs will reopen as not going to viable --if the premises is paid for it will be just mothballed until vaccine,excuse to let expensive staff go and if its in debt-- rented as long as they stay closed they have some sort of an out---staff gone --rates holiday qualify for whatever rescue package Gov decide--there will be no shortage of minimum wage staff in new year--you can forget about nightclubs,Harcourt st will be wiped out till vaccine !
-
That'll be no harm. Harcourt clogged up every night with illegally parked taxis, to the extent ya can't get up, not down the fukin street
-

A lot less drivers paying base now, even at €25pw. FN have most of the work, despatchers will have a lot less drivers when this is over, and no real means of getting them back without a huge investment in IT.

Yet only saying that to cheer me up
-

I usually run extension lead outside , off with the top , sit on an auld step ladder and run the razor machine over me loaf and beard, or if the wife is in good form she does it.
Give yourself a good shake down when finished and all hair droppings are outside.

Wat will we wash windows with now?
-
When I used to clean the windows on the taxi I'd be using kitchen towels.Back when we had more time to do it.Now it looks like we might have time to clean the car again.

If it was your site I would think that you were click baiting. Worst thing to ever happen to the biz. Was making more per hour in 2003 than now. They are riding us and as yet are only half up us.

And drivers are letting them, simply by being willing participants

+1. Takings were higher during the last boom and freight was significantly lower.
