The Government is to take a major gamble by allowing adults and unvaccinated children dine together indoors in a major easing of Covid-19 restrictions. The move comes despite chief medical officer Tony Holohan warning against allowing children dine indoors. The total combined capacity at a table cannot exceed 15 overall, and mingling between tables will not be allowed. The EU Digital Covid Cert or HSE Covid-19 vaccination record will be used as the primary evidence when going into a pub, restaurant, café or food court to access indoor hospitality. There will be no time limits for how long people can dine indoors and tables will only need to be one metre apart.
