Pubs across Ireland have been closed since March 12th.
A midlands publican fears he might never open his doors again, after the impact of the coronavirus.
All pubs and bars have been closed since March 12th, and aren't expected to resume business for at least three weeks.
Johnny Purcell from Purcell's Bar in Mountrath has been in working in the industry for over 50 years.
His pub offers a social outlet for many locals, especially the older generation and those in GAA circles, and he's worried not everyone will return, even after the rules have been relaxed.
The uncertainty means he cannot plan for the future:
