A group representing workers in the nightlife sector has criticised the Government's response to its reopening, warning that a continued shutdown will result in an upsurge of unregulated events.
In a letter to the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Minister for Arts, the 'Give Us the Night’ campaign said its industry is the only remaining one without any date for return.
It described the Government's handling as inadequate, inflexible and lacking a basic of understanding of how the industry works It is also calling on the Government to allow for non-socially distanced trial events to be held in September, regardless of Covid case numbers.
