Publicans in Clare have hit out at what they’ve described as “illogical” plans for the hospitality sector.
It comes as representatives from the sector are meeting senior government ministers today over the decision to delay reopening indoor dining.
The Tanaiste has been defending a controversial proposal to only allow fully vaccinated people dine indoors when it resumes, saying a covid pass could mean avoiding another lockdown if there’s a fourth wave of Covid 19.
While Taoiseach Micheal Martin says he’s open to looking at measures other than vaccination to allow the resumption of indoor dining.
But Parteen Publican William Browne says current plans make no sense.
The Clare Chair of the VFI, meanwhile, has criticised the Government for what he’s describes as “the disrespect and contempt” shown to the industry.
Ennis Publican Charlie O’Meara has accused the Government of grasping at straws.
