THE Dáil bar is to become the first hospitality venue in the country reimpose restrictions on visitor numbers, the Irish Independent can reveal.
Guests attending the venue inside the Leinster House complex will also be required to wear a mask despite face coverings not being mandatory anymore.
In a memo to TDs today, Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl said it was necessary to take “additional” safety measures due to the increase in Covid 19 cases both in wider society and within the Houses of the Oireachtas.
The restrictions will be in place until at least Easter so “that we can continue deliver essential services”.
