"At O'Connell's the barman said they have been working with neighbouring pubs and business to see keep each other stocked to cope, and are willing to 'roll the kegs' in if it comes to that."
"'Well this is our delivery day and no delivery has come in, no delivery, no beer. We will be OK for today but will we have enough for the weekend I don't know?'"
"'If you're a small business and no one is coming in, you're not paying rent or your bills, you wouldn't be too happy about it.'"
"'Maybe they (the protestors) could've done it differently, but that's what politicians get paid for.'"
O'Connell's pub reported being down to their last keg of Guinness by Thursday lunchtime due to delivery issues caused by protests in Dublin. Other pubs, like The Grand Social, also faced delivery failures, raising concerns about weekend supplies. Publicans are collaborating to manage stock shortages, but foot traffic has significantly decreased, impacting small businesses. The situation is causing financial strain, with worries about paying staff. Some hotel guests are protestors, but overall, alcohol deliveries remain disrupted.
