There will be no time limit for those allowed into bars and restaurants when indoor dining reopens on Monday. According to the Irish Examiner, the new guidelines will see six adults allowed at a table and an 11:30 pm closing time. Vaccine status will be assessed at the door of the premises, with the Government developing an app for QR scanning. For more on this, we heard from Adrian Cummins CEO of the Restaurants Association of Ireland, and Padraig Cribben Chief Executive of the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland.
