People enjoying outdoor dining in Dublin city today as uncertainty about the re-opening of indoor hospitality remains

Those under the age of 18 may be allowed inside restaurants and bars in the company of someone who is fully vaccinated, under plans being brought to Cabinet.

The Government is currently working on ways to allow for the resumption of indoor dining later this month after the planned reopening on July 5 was 'paused' due to concern over the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant.
