I know the Taoiseach is aware that there is great upset in respect of the renewed level 3 guidelines regarding live music at weddings. This decision affects not only couples whose plans have been in place for months, if not years, to be changed overnight but also the live music industry, which has been hugely impacted by this pandemic. The Government needs to clearly outline the rationale behind this decision. Are there any plans to review these guidelines as soon as possible?

These guidelines have come from NPHET and the Health Protection Surveillance Centre. Music, particularly singing, unfortunately, can, as a result of droplets and so on, act as a vector in the spread of the virus. It is a cautious guidance that was issued in respect of weddings. As with many other areas, our view all along in terms of the onset of the virus has been to adhere as close as we possibly can, within reason, to the guidance from public health authorities. That is the situation here.
