The vaccine cert for restaurants and pubs is set to be removed on that date.

The Tanaiste says some restrictions may remain next week as our so called Freedom Day approaches.

Most Covid 19 rules are to be relaxed on Friday the 22nd of October, while the vaccine cert for restaurants and pubs is set to be removed.

Leo Varadkar says while he wants a full reopening, it all depends on the advice from NPHET.

The COVID vaccine certificate should remain in place for hospitality and large events after October 22nd, according to a leading immunologist.

Professor of Immunology at Trinity College Dublin, Kingston Mills, believes the measure should be retained
