Uncertainty over when new Covid-19 restrictions will be made law

A criminal investigation by gardaí is now under way, its sole focus being on the organisers of the Oireachtas Golf Society event.

No date has been set for when new Covid-19 restrictions which drastically cut the maximum number of people attending an indoor event will be made law.

The measures, announced by the Government last Tuesday, will see the limit (with certain exceptions) reduced from 50 persons to six.
