The Strand Bar in the seaside village of Strandhill, Co Sligo is a popular spot with locals and tourists alike. The bar is run by three brothers, Neil, John and Johnson Byrne and this morning they were meeting to try to figure out their next steps in light of the latest information on guidelines for reopening.
Draft guidelines from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre have indicated that restaurants and pubs that serve food may be able to reduce the two-metre physical distancing restriction to one metre in certain circumstances when they reopen later this month.
One of the biggest issues for the Byrne brothers now is the suggestion that customers could only stay in the bar for 90 minutes.
