The Vintners Federation of Ireland is concerned about some of the proposals put forward by public health officials.
Groups from the hospitality industry are to consult with their members this week on proposals to get indoor dining reopened.
They met government officials yesterday to devise a plan that would allow for the safe reopening of indoor hospitality from the 19th of July.
One of the measures would include allowing the use of vaccine passports which will soon be issued to 1.8 million people who are fully vaccinated.
Adrian Cummins from the Restaurants Association explains what will happen before the talks resume on Thursday:
Mr Cribben said he wants a plan for reopening to be agreed by the end of this week or early next week.

The Vintners Federation of Ireland is concerned about some of the proposals put forward by public health officials.
Its Chief Executive is Padraig Cribben:
The Public Expenditure Minister is confident indoor dining can reopen soon if people are willing to try new things.
Hospitality representatives have been told 1.8 million fully vaccinated people could dine indoors under a vaccine pass system.
Those in the industry want indoor dining to reopen on July 19th.
Speaking on his way into Cabinet this morning, Michael McGrath feels it could be back soon.
