The re-opening of indoor dining has been delayed until at least the 19th of July.

It will then open to fully vaccinated people or those who've recovered from Covid.

So that will come with a system for managing it,

Ministers will work on that over the coming weeks.

The number of people at weddings will increase from 25 to 50 on July 5th.

While the number of fans at outdoor sporting events will increase from 200 to 500.

There will also be no limit on the amount of fully vaccinated people who can meet together indoors.

Ministers Offering Extra Supports

"I know that this delay we're announcing this afternoon will be greeted with dismay and frustration from some."

"In recognition of the circumstances, we will provide additional supports over the coming weeks."

"But I also know that the sector understands better than anyone the much greater harm that we would risk to their businesses if we risked the tremendous progress that we've achieved together."

Finally, the Taoiseach says, "Today's adjustment is another twist in our story, but our direction is un-changed."
