The Vintners’ Federation of Ireland (VFI ) has welcomed the publication of new Failte Ireland reopening guidelines that bring clarity to a number of issues, including the numbers permitted to attend outdoor events and parties.
Padraig Cribben, VFI Chief Executive, stated: "We welcome the clarity these new guidelines offer our members. Pubs are now permitted to facilitate outdoor parties for up to 200 people while live music makes a welcome return also in outdoor settings.
"The new guidelines make clear we’re moving towards a full reopening of society and it’s now only a matter of time before all restrictions in pubs, such as mandatory table service and the ban on people sitting at bar counters, are removed."
