The Dáil has passed legislation allowing indoor dining for fully vaccinated people or those who’ve recovered from Covid.
It was voted through by 74 votes to 68 and will now go to the Seanad
and if it passes there, bars, cafes and restaurants look set to resume indoor service no later than July 26th.
Publicans and restaurateurs will have to ask customers for evidence of immunity but will have no way to validate the pass.
