A Cork publican has spoken of the challenges facing rural pubs, some of which will reopen their doors tomorrow for the first time in 15 months. 

As part of the easing of Covid restrictions, pubs across the country can reopen offering an outdoor service. Indoor drinking and dining is not scheduled to resume until July 5.
