There will be no time limit for those allowed into bars and restaurants when indoor hospitality reopens on Monday.

Sources have confirmed to the Irish Examiner that the new guidelines agreed by the hospitality industry and Government officials after a meeting on Tuesday evening will see six adults allowed at a table and a continuation of the 11.30pm closing time.
