Attorney General Paul Gallagher has raised concerns about the lack of progress in developing regulations for indoor dining. With just days to go before pubs, restaurants and cafés can serve customers inside, Mr Gallagher highlighted a number of issue with the new regulations which have yet to be addressed. According to one source at the meeting, the Attorney General took particular issue with Health Minister Stephen Donnelly saying the regulations were progressing well. At Cabinet, Mr Gallagher also noted his staff are regularly working weekends to ensure new government policy is underpinned by legislation. One source said the Attorney General listed around a dozen issues with the new regulations which his office will need to have sight of before they can be put into law.
