"If We Want The Pubs To Open, It's On Every Single One Of Us" Keith Barry

Keith Barry has spoke about about the delay of Phase 4 by the government. A financial support package for pubs which still can't open is being considered by the government. Several Ministers are working on a scheme for businesses which remain shut due to Phase 4 of lifting Covid-19 restrictions being delayed by three weeks. Pubs won't reopen until at least August 31st, following advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team, which is concerned it would lead to an increase in community transmission of the virus. Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar says it's too early to say what the extra supports for pubs will be. Keith joined Dermot & Dave after posting a series of tweets last night. Was just in the local shop which is small - medium sized. 4 customers including me. I was the only one wearing a mask. The guy serving me had his mask down and eating - then put his mask on and served with no sanitizer.The pubs are not the problem. #phase4 WE ARE ALL THE PROBLEM — Keith Barry (@KeithpBarry) August 4, 2020 Pubs not opening on Monday. I feel pubs should be trusted they can accommodate their customers safely alongside gastropubs and restaurants - most important would be to put a curfew of 10pm or 11pm when the real messiness can’t be avoided. RT if you agree ! — Keith Barry (@KeithpBarry) August 4, 2020 I don't think it's my DNA.I don't think it's genetics. My resolve and desire to be better and more positive every day no matter what crap life throws at me comes from MENTAL programming to be the best possible version of myself. I fail regularly at that. BUT I try and try again. — Keith Barry (@KeithpBarry) August 3, 2020 Listen to Dermot's full chat with Keith below.
