Publicans have called for a review of new hospitality guidelines which are expected to put a 105-minute time limit on indoor visits to pubs and restaurants once they reopen this summer.
It had been expected the guidelines, which are being drafted by Fáilte Ireland, would be released yesterday but that was delayed after it emerged the Government had yet to approve them.
Asked about the delay, a Government source said it was important to “get it right” to ensure the hospitality sector “has a clear understanding” on what is being expected from it when the document is published.
