Irish Examiner view: Take it handy when the pubs open

Pubs to reopen in days

As in so much with the Covid-19 pandemic, the responsibility for outcomes is ours.  File picture. 

The Cabinet decision yesterday to allow pubs that don’t offer food to reopen in less than two weeks must be welcomed but with some qualifications and concerns.

These pubs have not traded for nearly six months and many are in a precarious financial position so it is entirely natural they will welcome the opportunity to generate
some income.
