I do not think it is appropriate for the Chair of an Oireachtas committee to criticise a senior Minister when he is not at the meeting.

I welcome the Tánaiste's comments on the return of indoor dining in early July. It is vital that happens as soon as it is safe to do so. Will the Tánaiste confirm this will happen if more than 80% of the population have been vaccinated by the end of June?

I will briefly make two other points. In 13 days' time hotels and restaurants with outdoor dining will be back trading, as far as the Tánaiste is aware. When will the Department issue the guidelines for this, because it takes some time to get set up and to organise a range of issues? We need to get the information urgently.
