Fáilte Ireland publish guidelines for hospitality resumption

Fáilte Ireland guidelines for the resumption of hospitality have been published.

The proposals had been expected yesterday, but were held-up at the Department of Taoiseach for further "observation".

A cap of 6 adults per booking's is included in the guidelines - along with a 105 minute time limit for indoor dining WITHOUT social distancing.

Imelda Munster Sinn Fein Spokesperson Tourism and Media says the time limit will be an issue.

"I think this is going to be a large bone of contention, not just amongst people in the hospitality industry but the general public in itself.

"For weeks now we've been told by the Tánaiste and other government reps that the €9 substantial meal rule was scrapped, and that appears to hold fast.

"But we were also told there'd be no time limit."
