Hospitality businesses will apply their own policies on whether to admit unvaccinated children, a restaurants representative has said. Finalised indoor dining guidelines are expected to be published this afternoon, just days before the Monday reopening, with unvaccinated children allowed to accompany parents. But Restaurants Association of Ireland chief executive Adrian Cummins says it will be up to individual restaurants and pubs whether they allow in children or not. The last-minute nature of the guidelines has caused disquiet in the hospitality industry. When pressed on additional requirements for indoor dining with unvaccinated children, and whether businesses may refuse entry for children altogether, Mr Cummins said each restaurant “will apply their own policy” in their business.
