Poll: Should all pubs be allowed to reopen on 10 August?
ALL PUBS IN Ireland are currently scheduled to reopen on 10 August, as part of Phase 4 of the government’s reopening.
A decision on whether to proceed on that timeline is set to be made this week as NPHET is to deliver its advice on the matter to the government today.
