Hospitality groups are keen to come up with a solution ahead of Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting to reopen indoor dining as soon as possible as crunch talks will continue with Government officials today. Talks between hospitality groups and Government officials will continue this afternoon at 2pm, with pressure to come up with a solution so a proposal can be brought to Cabinet Ministers next Tuesday. Legal advice from the Attorney General on the legality of vaccine passes is expected to be brought to the talks today. Discussions will also be focused on how the EU Digital Covid Cert (DCC) could be used to permit indoor dining. This “sunset clause” would be “time sensitive” and mean that by the time 80pc of adults are vaccinated, indoor dining would then be open to everybody.
