Restaurants have reacted to the Governmentâs latest plan to reopen the economy with âdisbelief, confusion and frustrationâ. Hotel and guesthouse restaurants will be permitted to operate indoor dining options from June 2nd but independent restaurants, coffee shops and gastropubs will be restricted to outdoor dining only from June 7th. Restaurants Association of Ireland chief executive Adrian Cummins called on the Government to publish âmedical and scientific evidenceâ deeming a hotel or guesthouse restaurant safer than other establishments. âRestaurants, hotels, cafes and gastropubs have all followed and implemented the exact same safety protocols for diners since June of last year,â he said.
