Representatives of the entertainment and events industry were "deeply disappointed" with the outcome of a meeting with Minister for Arts Catherine Martin yesterday.
No date was set for the return of live concerts and cultural events following the two-hour virtual meeting. The Government is due to publish a road map for the sector next month, but industry representatives had wanted a specific date.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Dan MacDonnell of the Event Industry Alliance said they are continuing to push for the safe re-opening of live indoor events from 1 September for the fully vaccinated and for the extension of pandemic support for the sector until June 2022.
