With restaurants set to reopen in less than a week, confusion persists about exactly how guidelines for the sector unveiled by Fáilte Ireland last week will operate in practice. There will also be a two-hour maximum time slot for reservations, including 15 minutes for cleaning, along with a host of other measures. The chief executive of the Restaurant Association of Ireland Adrian Cummins questioned how the guidelines will be policed or if they are enforceable either legally or practically. Mr Cummins said he had spent several days trying to establish how the new measures will work in practice. We have always been best in class in terms, in that regard, and that needs to continue,” Mr Cummins said.
