Many nightclubs did open for the first time since the start of the pandemic and those that did appeared very busy. Long queues formed on Dublin’sStreet for the first time in more than 19 months in a reminder of how we partied before Covid-19 – albeit with new rules around face masks and social distancing. Since then new guidelines have been published outlining the dos and don’ts for the nightclub and live entertainment sector.
Three things are now required to gain entry to a nightclub – a Covid-19 vaccine pass showing you’re fully vaccinated or immune; photo ID to prove the pass relates to you; and an electronic ticket purchased at least an hour before attendance.Nightclubs and venues appear to be scrambling to set up booking systems and are updating people on social media. Copper Face Jacks began directing people to the booking portal with anpost shortly after 3pm on Friday afternoon.
Rules: 1: if you go clubbing during a pandemic you're an asshole. 2: If you go clubbing, you'd better be prepared to be forcibly injected, because there's no Gardai to protect you. 3: If you catch Covid clubbing, die in your own bed. We don't need you clogging hospitals
