The Cabinet are meeting today ahead of a huge decision for Ireland's hospitality sector
Tànaiste Leo Varadkar has said that he's encouraged by recent epidemiological information about Scotland's Delta wave.
In a post that was shared online, the Fine Gael leader said: "This, of course, can change But it is encouraging that Scotland’s Delta wave seems to have peaked due to vaccines not the re-imposition of restrictions. Outbreak in Israel seems under control too. Some good news of a Sunday." The Government is aiming to have legislation allowing vaccinated people to eat and drink inside bars and restaurants, passed by the Dáil and Seanad before the end of this week.
Under the new system, proof of vaccination will be required and this can be done through downloading an app with a QR code or in paper form. It is reported that 'the industry expects that there will be a time limit of one hour 45 minutes, along with a requirement to have tables one metre apart, in the guidelines that will be issued,' however, nothing official has been confirmed yet.
