Hoteliers have joined the chorus of criticism of Taoiseach Micheál Martin's statement yesterday that the hospitality sector is to stay closed until mid-summer. 

Yesterday in an interview with RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, the Taoiseach said that he didn't foresee hospitality recommencing "before the middle of summer".
