Government expected to give green light to indoor dining today

The government's expected to give the green light for indoor dining to resume when it meets this morning.

The cabinet's set to sign off on guidelines for the reopening of pubs and restaurants from next Monday.

There'll be no time limits for customers - with an app to allow businesses to check customers' Digital Covid Certs.

But Michael O'Donovan, from the Vintners Federation of Ireland, says there'll also be a paper system.
