Live Blog: Government indicate hospitality and nightclubs restrictions to be lifted

Here’s everything we know in this article:

Mass confusion from government as nightclubs allowed but standing gigs not?

🍺 A return to normal opening hours for pubs and restaurants is on the cards – but vaccine passes will be required

— Richard Chambers (@newschambers) October 19, 2021

“Ministers have approved the resumption of normal trading hours in pubs, restaurants and wider hospitality and also the reopening of nightclubs although the latter will face restrictions, including potentially limiting numbers and access to those with a Covid vaccine certificate.”

So says the Irish Times.

Though that comes with a caveat that “the Cabinet has not yet made a final decision on this.”

According to Morning Ireland this morning, NPHET recommended keeping restrictions on hospitality for “several more months” until February 2022.
