Financial supports for the hospitality industry should continue until next year, the former president of the Restaurants Association of Ireland said.
The Government s roadmap for reopening this summer will see restaurants and pubs providing outdoor services from June 7th.
It will follow the reopening of hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses from June 2nd.
However, the Restaurants Association said following the announcement that it was deeply disappointed that indoor dining will not be allowed back until July 5th.
The body has indicated that it will legally challenge the decision not to allow indoor dining from the same date as hotels.
There are no medical or public health reasons to keep restaurants, cafes and gastropubs restricted if hotels & guesthouses reopen, the CEO of the Restaurant.
