Restaurants Association of Ireland pressing for an agreement between Government and Industry that enables all hospitality businesses resume indoor trading from July 19th in line with international travel.
Chief Executive of the Restaurants Association, Adrian Cummins, is hopeful a resolution can be found:
The Tanaiste has indicated indoor dining can only reopen if the hospitality sector is willing to check if customers have been fully vaccinated.
Leo Varadkar says the EU Digital Covid Cert can be used as proof of vaccination and they’re also looking at other options.
The Tanaiste says the Delta variant means theses vaccination checks may be the only way forward
