Dáil back in Leinster House on Sept 15 after summer break

A return is possible due to the "exceptional" takeup of vaccines

The Dáil will return to Leinster House from its current base at the Convention Centre, on September 15. While no rent is charged to the Oireachtas, it costs between €21,000 and €25,000 per day to move sittings to the other side of the River Liffey.

The Dáil will return to Leinster House on September 15, according to an outline plan of the Houses of the Oireachtas service.

The plan has been presented to the Dáil Business Committee ahead of the summer recess which will begin today.
