Hospitality sector to push for lifting of 11.30pm curfew and phasing out of Covid certs

Currently, all customers are required to leave bars and restaurants by 11.30pm, but some business owners say this is creating problems with large groups of people congregating outside, and leading to difficulties in people securing transport home. File photo: Leah Farrell / RollingNews.ie

The hospitality industry is to push for an end to the 11.30pm curfew at a meeting with government officials tomorrow.

It is part of an overall effort by representatives from the sector to secure an overall easing of restrictions.
