It's a huge day for the hospitality sector in Ireland today.

Hotels and B&Bs can welcome back guests for the first time in more than 5 months from today.

Guesthouses and self-catering accommodation can also reopen, as part of the government's planned easing of restrictions.

The Irish Hotels Federation says today's reopening will result in more than 30,000 staff returning to work over summer.

Meanwhile, restaurants claim it's 'unjust' they're not allowed open in full today, in line with hotels.

They can't serve outdoors until next Monday and can't resume indoor dining before July 5th.

The Restaurants Association's chief executive, Adrian Cummins, says the delay will be challenged legally in the coming days.
