Additional restrictions take effect to curb the spread of the Omicron variant which accounts for a third of new Covid cases
The Irish government has decided to reduce to 8pm the closing time of restaurants and bars, as well as cinemas and theatres, among other measures aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19.
In a televised address on Friday, Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Micheál Martin said the Omicron variant represented a "significant threat" to the Republic of Ireland due to its rapid rate of transmission. He added that the Omicron strain is now responsible for approximately 35 percent of the new cases.
Despite the high vaccination rate, a further 3,628 Covid-19 cases were recorded in the Republic on Friday. The additional restrictions come on top of the Omicron-targeted curbs imposed earlier this month, which are now being extended to 30 January 2022.
The following measures have been introduced with effect from 20 December (midnight on Sunday):
The Restaurants Association of Ireland said its members are fuming about the early closing time of hospitality venues. The Vintners' Federation of Ireland said the restriction would have a “devastating” effect on the sector.
The government on its part promised to “review the existing economic and income schemes in light of the latest restrictions of businesses capacity to operate”.
