View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 72 and 73 together.
In line with the sequence of actions detailed in the revised ‘Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business’, pubs that do not serve substantial meals are due to reopen in Phase 4, which is scheduled to commence on 10 August.
Following receipt of relevant public health guidance the guidelines for the reopening of pubs are being updated by Fáilte Ireland and will be published in the coming days.
