Trade fair organisers seek clarity on when they can reopen

The Irish Exhibition Organisers Association (IEOA) said that for September and October alone, more than 3,000 small businesses are already booked to exhibit at IEOA member events.

Currently phase four of the government's roadmap for reopening Ireland's economy allows for gatherings of up to 100 people indoors – but this number isn’t viable for trade fairs which are held in huge venues such as The RDS in Dublin.
