Government looking at extra supports for wet pubs 

RTÉ Business – 21.05.2021 

The Minister for Tourism has indicated that the Government is examining introducing additional supports for pubs which do not serve food and who want to serve customers outside. In March, the Government announced a €17m scheme that would provide grants of up to €4,000 to hotels, cafes, restaurants and attractions where food is sold, to help them prepare premises for serving outdoors. However, so-called wet pubs expressed disappointment that they were not going to be eligible for the scheme as they do not serve food.
