Restrictions see bars and restaurants close at 8pm

The early closing time of 8pm for all restaurants, bars and cafés has come into effect this evening, as part of new restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the Omicron variant.

The restriction, which does not apply to takeaway or delivery services, was one of many announced by the Taoiseach on Friday.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said this will help the country get to the other side of the current wave as safely as possible.
