The guidelines said that, alongside a Covid-19 certificate and photographic ID, anyone attending a nightclub will need to have bought a ticket in advance.Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, LVA CEO Donall O’Keeffe said his organisation understood “this was not going to happen”.“The situation is very fluid, the position on Saturday was very different to Friday.”

“No, it isn’t,” she said. “Less than a week ago we were going to reopen without any restrictions and we had to make some decisions based on the direction of travel of the Covid numbers and we have made those decisions this week. She added: “The elements in relation to ticketing, I know there has been some dissatisfaction with that, but there was dissatisfaction when we introduced Covid certs and they have worked really well.

But Sinn Féin TD Matt Carthy said that the Government’s handling of the situation “was and is an absolute shambles”. “The Government is refusing to share the type of information that is required in relation to the public health advice that is underpinning this.”Today’s meeting to finalise guidelines for the hospitality industry comes after the HSE said yesterday that people registering for a Covid-19 vaccine has increased from 800-1,000 per day to more than 2,000 a day.
