Meanwhile, the Government has received guidance on the reopening of pubs and a consultation process with the drinks sector is expected to begin shortly, a spokesperson for the Taoiseach has stated today.
Both Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin and the Tánaiste Mr Leo Varadkar have both previously stated that they want pubs to reopen as soon as possible, but that any reopening must be done within a safe environment.
The next decision on reopening is expected to be made on September 13th next, when publicans are hopeful of a more concrete date.
Please do stay safe by reducing social contacts; avoiding crowds; physically distancing; while wearing face coverings and washing your hands regularly.
