VFI: Pubs have 'every chance' of reopening in 10 days but wanted guidelines this week

Paul Moynihan, incoming president of the VFI, said the Cabinet should still give pubs the go-ahead when they meet next Tuesday.

Publicans say they are still confident all pubs will be able to open on August 10, despite the 85 coronavirus cases here yesterday.

Yesterday saw the highest number of cases in more than two months.
