Restaurant owners say indoor dining should be allowed resume when hotels open their doors
Hotels and guesthouses can provide indoor dining when they reopen on June 2nd, and outdoor hospitality is permitted from June 7th
However, there's still no date for when pubs and restaurants can allow people to dine inside.
A decision's expected to be made on Friday after the Government receive advice from NPHET.
Clare Nash of Nash 19 restaurant in Cork City says there has to be a balanced model of indoor and outdoor dining:
"What we're hoping for next week is that when the government opens hotels, and less hotel sales, there will be double occupancy modes, you know, in most rooms, they're going to spill out onto our streets. We need capacity to feed them yesterday in the city we're really really busy day, as in people on the streets. We know what season, you know, we couldn't look after them, you're building into the anti social behaviour then as the days go on."
