As the Deputy is aware, the situation regarding COVID-19 has been, and continues to be, an evolving situation. COVID-19 is still having a major impact both here in Ireland and elsewhere.

The Government's  ‘Resilience and Recovery 2020-2021: Plan for Living with COVID-19’ outlines our medium-term strategy for COVID-19 and sets out a 5 level framework which outlines the broad measures which will apply depending on the level of the virus at any given time. The intention is that departments and sectors will provide guidance for specific sectors and activities in line with the 5 level framework. 

In relation to the matter raised by the Deputy (whether outdoor drive-in bingo could be considered as an activity in the same way that outdoor drive-in cinemas are considered), I will raise it with my colleague, the Minister for Health, for consideration if and when a relaxation of current restrictions is being considered.
