By Gareth Farrell

The number of people allowed to attend wedding receptions has risen to 50 from today.

Meanwhile high level talks will take place today between representatives from the hospitality sector and the Government on the reopening of indoor dining. Today's planned reopening has been postponed due to NPHET concerns about the Delta variant of Covid-19.
The bar and restaurant industry is calling for a clear plan to get indoor dining reopen by the 19th of July.
Adrian Cummins from the Restaurants Association says he is disappointed NPHET won't be attending today's meeting
