2020 HASN’T BEEN a great year for pints in Ireland.
The pubs were shut, and stayed shut, and then stayed shut even more – before opening again, but not everywhere, before closing again, but not completely. Then, completely.
Do you follow so far? No? That’s fine.
Takeaway pints also appeared during this saga, and were supped away until some people lost the run of themselves. There was outrage, they were almost banned, then not banned, then there was talk of fines, until eventually they were just left alone – for now.
Didn’t catch that either? Forget it, let’s just get on with this quiz.

Need to hold of on that charity money we send overseas, needs to start at home first with the people of limerick in dire need of money.
Storm after storm since before Xmas. Never seen anything like this in Ireland!
I’m a good bit inland in Carlow (Ballon) and it is indeed fierce at the moment. The worst winds we’ve had in this eight week spell and they are not due to peak for another couple of hours. I’m looking nervously at the river which is usually a one foot deep four foot wide stream running through the end of my garden. At present it is six feet higher than usual. I think I might be in for a squeaky bum night.
Them flood defenses are holding back a serious amount of rubbish too in that picture!
I’m going back into my cave till April
Some wind blowing here in the southeast…horrible night..
Serious question..Will any monies given to councils for flood damage remediation /emergency works etc be taken/grabbed back from the block grants issued into the future? Is it emergency funding or a loan?Anyone know?
Living in Clontarf and the wind stole my bins, had to chase them down in my pyjamas (I was wearing my pyjamas, the bins were not) and slipped in the mud, it was quite funny and cold and humiliating all at the same time…not sure how to feel. But yeah, Tis mighty stormy out there! Hopefully the sea will stick to its side of the wall this time, cheeky fecker has no respect for boundaries or personal space.
Just walked the dogs in the park. Hell yeah!
I have to pass those flood defences in Clontarf while cycling to work tomorrow. Not looking forward to it.
Can’t you take another route?
I could but it would mean I’d have to get up earlier.
Yeah it was windy enough tonight when I went for a walk in meath
Went for a walk in Meath ?
.
-I’m off for a walk love..
-Where you going ?
-Meath !
Haha that’s funny
The first picture looks like it is defenses against rubbish….
Tide was really high at Shannon bridge in limerick at 9 when I was driving past, bunratty too. That was before high tide and another torrential down pour. Just glad to be in home out of it now!
have your say
