Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 July 2021
498. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if her Department in consultation with the Department of Health will publish ventilation guidelines for hospitality settings; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [40985/21]
View answerCovid-19 operational guidelines for tourism hospitality settings are available from Fáilte Ireland. The operational guidelines include comprehensive guidance on ventilation including a requirement that the guidance outlined in the "Work Safely Protocol" should be adhered to including appropriate measures in relation to implementation of effective ventilation. This includes guidance on increasing airflow, air extraction systems, and the use of CO2 monitors.
I have referred the Deputy's question to Fáilte Ireland for further details on the relevant guidance. Please contact my private office if you have not received a reply within ten working days.
