The Government has been forced to clarify the number of people allowed to attend cultural venues following conflicting statements and widespread confusion over new restrictions.

The Department of Culture, Heritage, and the Gaeltacht stated, on Wednesday, that events in venues such as cinemas, galleries, and theatres, where there is physical distancing and controlled measures, can continue under current guidelines, with limits of 50 for indoor events and 200 for outdoor.
