The full reopening of pubs and how to limit the number of tourists travelling into the Republic will be discussed by public health officials later.

The National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) will meet on Tuesday morning to confirm if all licensed premises will still reopen next Monday. Pubs and bars without a license to serve food have been closed since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis in mid-March.
