Indoor hospitality to reopen no later than July 23

The new law, if passed, will allow those who have recently recovered from Covid-19 to enter bars and restaurants, while minors aged under 18 but accompanied by vaccinated parents or another vaccinated person will also be allowed access to indoor hospitality.

Indoor hospitality should reopen no later than Friday July 23 under plans to be approved by Cabinet later today.

After days of negotiations with the hospitality sector, ministers are set to approve a plan to allow fully vaccinated adults and children under 18 in their company dine and drink indoors, the Irish Examiner understands.
