The Irish catering sector was one of the most regulated in Europe during the Pandemic.

The Wine Growers’ Federation of Ireland (VFI, abbreviated in English) has been told that the exemption from anti-Covid-19 measures will allow 3,000 pubs in Ireland to reopen “for the first time since March 2020”. Bringing together 4,000 pub owners.

The PFD considered the new rules to be “expensive” and “complicated to apply” and called for the “immediate removal” of the obligation to inspect clients’ immunizations.

More than a thousand people gathered in front of the Prime Minister’s residence in Dublin on Saturday (24) to protest against the anti-Kovid-19 health passport.
