Outdoor drinking on a June Sunday afternoon in Galway (Simon Roughneen)
DUBLIN Pubs in Ireland’s capital Dublin have slammed government plans to have them screen customers for proof of coronavirus vaccination as “discriminatory” and likely to spark conflict.
The Licensed Vintners Association (LVA) on Tuesday said the measures, which would apply nationwide as part of a plan to reopen indoor service in restaurants and pubs, “will lead to flashpoints between hospitality staff and potential customers.”
“Our members are already reporting there is real anger about this,” according to LVA chief Donall O’Keefe, who said there are “major question marks” about enforcement of the proposed rules, which would also cover customers with proof of previous coronavirus infection.
