Challenges Facing Arts Venues and Theatres as a result of Covid-19: Discussion
Ms Anna Walsh:
In addition to Mr. Donnelly's comments, as of yesterday evening, we have been writing, rewriting and amending guidelines for capacities, the numbers of people that are allowed into arts centres and venues. Restrictions are, unfortunately, going to continue. There is a responsibility on all of us to try to map out the path ahead for reopening. I do not think it will be a particularly easy path back to 80% capacity and bigger audiences. Guidelines have been developed with the support of the Arts Council. They are available to all groups, theatre companies and production companies. We will continue to add to those in the months ahead.
