According to the Licensed Vintners Association (LVA), there has been at least 2,450 job losses in the Dublin pub sector since March.
This is approximately 1 in 5 of the 12,000 jobs in the sector.
The LVA have also stated that there will be more future job losses ahead since almost 1 in 3 pubs has yet to reopen, and those that reopen will be operating at 50% capacity or less.
This shows just how serious public health measures have affected the economic impact of the pub sector in Dublin.
