Summer Hospitality: I'm "Hopeful" Says Tánaiste
The Minister for Business says indoor dining and pints should be on the cards this summer:
"I would still be hopeful, and on the confident side of hopeful, that we'll have indoor dining in our pubs and restaurants in July."
"It's just that July is quite far away."
Adding to that, the Tánaiste says "we can't really make that call until the end of June."
