He said Cabinet has approved legislation for resumption of indoor hospitality
Pubs and restaurants are set to reopen indoor dining for fully vaccinated people next week, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said.The Fine Gael leader explained that he anticipates the use of vaccine passes to reopen pubs and restaurants across the country for indoor dining to come into force no later than July 26.
The legislation, agreed by Cabinet on Monday, will see the resumption of indoor dining reopening in three phases. It will then need to go through the Seanad before being signed into law by President Michael D Higgins. However, he said nightclubs can operate as licensed venues with six to a table and table service only.
The reopening of bingo halls, bowling alleys and other indoor activities could also potentially take place with the use of vaccine passes “down the line,” Mr Varadkar also indicated.
