(Alliance News) - Ireland s National Public Health Emergency Team is not going to change its advice on the return of indoor hospitality, Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said.
The public health experts had called for the return of indoor restaurants and pubs to be delayed from its planned date of July 19, until an enforceable system to allow only vaccinated people to enter can be established.
