France, Belgium and Luxembourg will be removed from the Mandatory Hotel Quarantine list.

NPHET has also cleared the way for indoor dining to return from July 5th, though the Restaurants Association of Ireland has said it will be taking a legal challenge in a bid to be allowed to open indoor dining at the same time as hotels on June 2nd.

On June 7th restaurants and pubs can open for outdoor dining, while cinemas and gyms will also re-open.
