Heard yesterday that the powers that be are considering allowing a surcharge within the industry for the supply of PPE in cars---would it cause more difficulty ?

More Bolloxology .What standard would the masks need to be and would you need to stop working when your supply ran out ?.Would it not be better to serve a 9 euro dinner on the ranks and if you dont have a dinner you cant get a taxi ?That seems to work in Hotels and Pubs .

Still tryin to get my head around why serving a €9 meal will curb the spread of the dizzeeze.....the pub my yungfella goes to arn't turfing their customers out after 105mins,they're trying to keep their regular customers,would it not be best to keep those customers in the one place for a night....like quarantine.

Tried to explain this earlier the big pubs that serve food got in the ear of the Government they want the small local pub out of business the days of lads going to the pub every night is over .All the fuckology about rural pubs being good for mental health and socialising is bollox more people in Rural Ireland go to Bingo than the pub or Mass havent heard Father Malachy Burbridge PP crying that the Bingo isint open .The real reason they want the Pubs closed is if Paddy has 90 notes to spend he will spend it in the Local Porter Shop only keeping Mick and Sheila in a job but if the Pub is closed Paddy will spread his coin in the Local Centra Chipper,Hardware helping tp keep more people in work Freakenomics biggest bang for their buck .

You can't get as pissed with food.I've been struggling to get the pints in after the grub.They're going in but it's hard work.
If you have to buy food you won't move from place to place as you'll need to buy more food in the next one.
It's working reasonably well but they probably know folks will try to get around the rules.
I'm guessing some places won't force you to buy food if yer trusted.

When i go out i'm either eating or drinking,could never do both,the missus loves when we go for a meal cos she knows she'll be on the vino.

Because it is envisaged that people will leave the premises after their meal and pint after 105 mins.
If they open the "wet pubs" people wont leave after 105 mins , they will stay as you have pointed out above.
Given that the pub your young lad goes to is effectively breaking the law, it shows and proves that the powers that be, are right in doing what they are doing. In other words, "some" publicans cannot be trusted (allegedly)

Wet Pub 4 barmen Pub with Grub 4 barmen 3 kitchen staff 2 waitresses = more staff working as opposed to just 4 in a wet pub .If they let the pubs reopen a lot of kitchen and waiting staff will lose their jobs .Thats the sort of logic that is being applied .
-
They're just trying to encourage more responsible drinking habits.If there weren't so many pubs with restaurant licences the wet pubs would probably have opened by now.Like I said already anyone who wants a drink can find one right now.
It's not that difficult for a pub to offer food.All they need is access to a kitchen that passes the regulations.
I think of the €9 meal as an admission fee with some grub thrown in.Still better than sitting on the sofa until Christmas.

Where did you get the information from? Taxi rank talk or from the NTA???
Also, what exactly does the PPE consist of? It is just a face covering, or is it a face covering, gloves, goggles, and surgical gowns?
If so, I'd rather dust down me gimp suit and wear that.

Saw a receipt from Mulligans pub in Sandymount the other day.
It read
1 Beef burger 16.95 (for a fuckin burger!!)
1 Beef Taco 13.95
1 cheese Cake 6.95
1 diet 7up 3.15
1 Ballygowan water 3.20 (for water !!)
1 Black Coffee 2.95
1 Orange Split 3.15
AND
Covid19 charge 2.00 Euro
RIP off, Ireland alive and well it seems
-
I couldn't give a fuk if i never stepped into a boozer again but the younger generation are the ones that will keep those business's going and with the 105mins rule only encourages house parties imo.
Regarding PPE......the NTA will be on top of this,Anne has a plan!!
-
Pubs down my way are open as normal and im sure many rural pubs are the same, if you wanna spend €9 on a meal paddy will send his youngfella to the chipper for you.
-
^^^^^^^It's in Sandymount Justin.There aren't many taxi drivers that can afford to live there.All tech companies and solicitors.Close to the city and the sea where properties costs millions not a few hundred grand.Couple of hundred yards from Ballsbridge.
You'd pay €13/14 everywhere else in the city for a burger.Made by Chefs nothing like what ya get in Macdonalds.Dublin is expensive.

You can be sure one of the usual suspects out in the port got on to the NTA as they are worried that filthy foreigners are coming into town .The NTA will undoubtly help them out .
Dear Driver
Your concern with filthy foreigners comming into town will be addressed .We here at DAA and NTA and the Taxithingey see what you are saying about dirty foreigners so we have decided to ask Free Now or Uber to operate a track and trace system in the port so All bookings from the port will be through the app this way we can track the dirty foreigners that you are so concerned about .The NTA have already issued guidlines to Workers observe SOCIAL DISTANCING and WASH YOUR HANDS .I hope this solution to your concerns will surfice .
Regards .

The dog's n the street are all well aware that most of the Pub/Restaurants are not playing by the rules.
Fckn shame that the pub with no food cannot open.
Surely if you open the Pubs then the social distancing rule would be better adhered to as the punters would be spread out more !
-
Not all publicans are trustworthy.If this blows up into another lockdown the consequences are much worse for everyone.Anyone who wants to drink can buy one now.Yis are not gonna get a massive boost in business if the wet pubs reopen.

The NTA's only role with regard to taxis is to impose fines and in general to make things as difficult as possible during the pandemic,nothing they have done...or ever done for that matter is to make things simple,they create barriers...and nothing is ever their fault.

Hal to be fair to them It was drivers wanted Door Stickers and roof stickers and it was drivers complained renters were renting shite boxes and it was drivers complained about over ranking and non tax paying double jobbers .The NTA are reactionary not Proactive but fucking drivers and their Reps dont get that .Roy and Meself went in to meet the Minister he asked what did we want I said nothing then he asked if we wanted a seat on the TAC we said No .Roy and Me went in to listen not to demand more pain .Everything we got we asked for even though we didnt really ask for what we got .
-
I certainly didn't want door or roof stickers....we had a big fukoff non-aerodynamic roofsign that weighed a fukin ton,as usual someone had a brainfart who thought havin a D sticker on your roofsign would keep all the blacks and culchie drivers out of Dublin...as for door stickers,they just identified taxis in driveways for scum to break in to......and the NTA insisting that they must go over plastic door trim that they're not designed to adhere to.

charge more, that'll get the customers running back!
-
A charge for supplying a mask could be a great incentive for them to bring their own.

They all have them, if when they get to the car you have one on, they'll either put one on or ask if it's necessary, if you don't have one on, odds are they won't bother either and probably won't even if you put one on after they get in, unless you ask them to.
-
That makes sense Roy.I keep the same one in my pocket just in case.So far I haven been feeling the need for it except in my local Tesco where 95% wear them voluntarily.

Face masks can be almost anything, including scarves. So no reason why somebody shouldn't wear one when getting in a taxi.

Face coverings
A face covering is a material you wear that covers the nose and mouth. Wearing a face covering reduces the spread of coronavirus in the community. It helps to reduce the spread of respiratory droplets from people infected with coronavirus. This helps to stop people who are not aware they have the virus from spreading.
If you have coronavirus or have symptoms of coronavirus, you must self-isolate. Do this even if you wear a face covering.
What they are made from
Face coverings are made from cloth materials such as cotton or silk. You can buy them or make them at home using items such as scarfs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, or towels. Other types of face coverings include visors or face shields. These are usually made from plastic.
Having said that, the HSE use scarfs instead of scraves in the last line. Can they be trusted? :P (Merriam-Webstar Dictionary (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scarf))
