You know a recession has gotten really bad when bars and pubs close. Scary.
[One in eight bars Irish bars in the Republic of Ireland have closed in the past six years.
The drastic recession, emigration and a huge crackdown on drunk driving are said to be the main reasons why.
Over 1,000 pubs have now closed in that time period with massive loss of jobs.
And the carnage is expected to contine with more pubs closing as even stricter drink driving laws are introduced.
Figures obtained by the Irish Independent show the country had 8,617 pubs in 2005, at the very height of the Celtic Tiger.
Now the number has fallen by 1,108 to just 7,509 this month.]
