Pubs are still closed as Ireland slowly comes out of yet another lockdown due to the Covid19 pandemic. The last time we unlocked fully was Christmas and the country suffered a huge spike in Covid19 infections in the following months. The difference now is that vaccinations have started and almost 28% of the population have received one dose. Hopefully it will help.
