A memo for the reopening of indoor hospitality is due at Cabinet next week, the Irish Examiner understands, as industry representatives said there was “an absolute commitment” by Government that pubs would have clarity by next Monday on the issue. Government officials today met with representatives of the hospitality and tourism sectors, following last week’s meeting of the Hospitality and Tourism Forum. 'Feedback from the sector'"This was a useful opportunity to build on last week’s meeting, at which the Government took feedback from the sector and heard their suggestions," a Government statement said. Following the meeting, hospitality representatives said there was “an absolute commitment” by Government that pubs would have clarity by next Monday on the reopening of indoor hospitality. “We're working towards the 19th of July in the hospitality sector because that is when international travel starts and you will have possibly tourists coming into the country from that date onwards,” he said.
