As the Deputy is aware, from today (Tuesday 1 December), all counties have been placed on level 3 of the Government’s Resilience and Recovery 2020 – 2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19.
From Friday 4 December, restaurants and pubs operating as restaurants (serving a substantial meal) can open for indoor dining with additional restrictions. This includes access for non-residents to restaurants in hotels.
As regards provision for domestic travel, the public are asked to stay within their own county until 18th December, from which time inter-county travel will be allowed – a provision due to remain in place until 6th January.
