The Cabinet will sign off on plans this afternoon to reopen indoor hospitality in bars and restaurants,The meeting comes following talks between government and the hospitality sector which took place over the weekend. The government is aiming to have legislation, which will allow vaccinated people and under 18s accompanied by vaccinated people to eat and drink indoors at restaurants and pubs, passed by the Dáil and Seanad this week.
The bill, which will likely be an amendment to the 1947 Public Health Act, will then go to President Michael D Higgins to be signed before a new system can come into operation. However, the President will be allowed to consult with the Council of State if he believes the legislation conflicts with the constitution.
