Postponing indoor dining could have a catastrophic impact on businesses

The Restaurants Association says postponing the return of indoor dining will have a catastrophic impact on many businesses.

It's reported the government is considering a two-week delay to the planned easing of hospitality restrictions on July 5th.

Ministers are concerned about the Delta variant - and hope the delay would allow more people to be fully vaccinated.

Restaurants Association CEO Adrian Cummins says any change to the reopening plans would be a big blow.
