THERE IS TO be a cap of 100 people in the numbers allowed to attend wedding receptions, the Government has announced.
Receptions must also end at midnight.
The new measure is set to come into effect on Monday.
The move was announced by the Taoiseach this evening as part of a series of measures aimed at tackling the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
Micheál Martin announced that as part of the new restrictions pubs and restaurants must close at 8pm.
