Tipp FM Text 083 311 3311 A Tipperary County Councillor is calling for the new outdoor dining scheme to be extended to pubs. The scheme which was announced last week, would allow businesses in the hospitality sector to avail of funding to develop outdoor eating areas. But Cashel Fine Gael Councillor Declan Burgess is calling for the scheme to be extended to traditional pubs. Speaking to Tipp FM he said the grant could have included other sectors. “I do welcome this grant but I do feel it could have been more inclusive from day one. I believe it’s imperative that Government would include traditional pubs in this kind of scheme.”
