Irish venues, nightclubs and music events are being disregarded, and more closures are certain if this continues. We wrote to @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar @cathmartingreen laying out a range of necessary measures to help our industry reopen safely and swiftly.

As darkness falls on deserted streets, Al Keegan illuminates Dublin city tonight. Farewell to a legend, your light will shine on and on #mcgruders #dublin8

Irish venues at night have the earliest closing times and shortest hours of operation in Europe. They're also subject to extortionate SEO costs for their troubles. Whether you're 50 capacity, or 5,000, you pay €410 per night to open. #giveusthenight #GE2020 #nighttimeeconomy

We'd urge people to wait until an official Govt announcement is made before celebrating, but yes, we're hopeful that this is the type of time we'll see venues running to, not just in Dublin but nationwide #giveusthenight

Govt must include nightclubs in its plan to reopen nightlife. These venues and businesses cannot be left behind. We have requested, in the case of a phased reopening, that nightclubs open by February 11th.

Irish nightclubs account for 1.2% of premises nationwide using a standard 7 day publican's licence. Of those active nightclubs, we foresee roughly ten initially (mostly Dublin based) that may open late late at weekends. As we keep saying, it's a moderate change. #giveusthenight

Irish nightclubs will be allowed to remain open until 6am and serve alcohol until 5am under legislation set to be brought in later this year rte.ie/news/upfront/2…

As far as we know the Bernard Shaw owner plans to develop it into a hotel himself + has no planning permission yet. The question now is if @DubCityCouncil + @anbordpleanala will stand up for our city in this + when they'll put cap on new hotels. Enough rooms yet @Failte_Ireland ?

To those who may feel licensing reform appears rushed or ill-conceived: Govt has been considering these changes for three years now and the bill itself (Sale of Alcohol Bill) was initially drafted in 2005. These changes are LONG overdue and can't come soon enough! #giveusthenight

So, in Germany where the government values club culture, venues like Berghain have literally become cultural institutions of their own, that the public want to visit during the day. This is a great example of a multi-use space adapting to Covid-19.

No dancing, just listening. The #coronavirus is keeping Berlin's legendary clubs closed but techno mecca Berghain has found a way to throw its doors back open, luring visitors with an unusual sound exhibition u.afp.com/37tz

Extraordinary. Last year the amount of new hotels in the works for Dublin was 79. @Failte_Ireland you are an enemy of the city, with this type of talk. Cop on. x.com/MangoDassle/st…

Irish nightclubs (89) account for 0.6% of the amount of liquor licences in use in Ireland. Most clubs don't open more than two nights a week (selling alcohol between 7 to 9 hrs in total). To compare, supermarkets use licence 78.5 hours a week (that offers 24 hr access to alcohol)

Whatever about ticketing, this one metre social distancing rule (thrown in last minute, of course) is clearly to make it easier to target and shut down venues. Completely ineffective Covid measure too. Who thinks this stuff up? No expert anyway.

Consumers must maintain one-metre social distancing in the queue for the bar in nightclubs and at live events under new guidelines for the sector which have now been published. rte.ie/news/2021/1028…

So loud music is banned but equally loud crowd noise at Croke Park is permitted. Whether alcohol is sold outside or inside the ground is irrelevant. The restriction on loud music events must now be scrapped @CMOIreland @MichealMartinTD @DonnellyStephen @LeoVaradkar
