Guideliness For Re-Opening Indoor Hospitality To Be Unveiled Today.

Wednesday, 26 May 2021 09:33

Proposals had been expected to be published yesterday.

Failte Ireland guidelines for the resumption of the hospitality sector are expected to be approved later today.

The proposals had been expected to be published yesterday, but were held-up at the Department of Taoiseach for further "observation".

A 105 minute limit on indoor dining and a cap of 6 per booking is set to be included.

Ventilation will also feature, and Noel Anderson from the Licensed Vintners Association says pubs may require help with that:

"We will be pressing to have these guidelines reviewed and further sense checked from a pragmatic perspective... there is no point in introducing guidelines which will have unintended consequences around customer movement and interaction."https://t.co/DW9yma9wer

Noel Anderson says time limits aren't practical:
