Varadkar: Indoor dining and drinking in July

Responding to questions about hotels being allowed to serve indoors from June 2, Mr Varadkar said he knows this is annoying for restaurant owners. However, he expected this disparity would only be in place for a few weeks. Picture: Pexels

Indoor dining and drinking are to return in July under Government plans, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said.

Responding to calls in the Dáil for a detailed plan as to how large cities will operate this summer, Mr Varadkar said local authorities are providing more bins and public toilets.
