Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has warned the hospitality industry that the Government intends to get "very serious" about non-compliance with Covid-19 entry rules. He also said the Government was considering subsidising antigen testing for the wider population in Ireland. "I want to acknowledge that the majority of pubs, restaurants and hospitality outlets are doing that," he told RTÉ Radio One. We shouldn't be penalising the many hospitality outlets who are doing exactly the right thing and who are trading safely. "But I don't believe that the industry should be blaming Government for the industry not obeying the law," he said.
