A maximum of six people aged 13 years and over will be allowed per table when restaurants, pubs and cafes open next month. However, Covid-19 safety guidelines issued this morning by Fáilte Ireland also say that when accompanying children under the age of 12 are included, up to 15 people will be allowed at the one table.
Food and beverage facilities indoors will initially only be available for residents of hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs which can reopen from 2 June.
It will not be possible for multiple tables to be booked indoors and no parties or social gatherings will be allowed inside.
