At least 2,450 jobs have been lost permanently in Dublin pubs due to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Licensed Vintners Association.

The association fears that further significant job losses may lie ahead, with almost one in three pubs in the Dublin yet to open.

Pubs serving food were permitted to reopen on June 29th, while the remaining pubs are set to reopen on August 10th.
