I am trying to understand the rules on indoor events and they don't seem clear to me.
www.gov.ie
From 6 Sept
Where patrons have mixed immunity status, there will be no change to the current restrictions during September.
*Indoor events and mass gatherings includes conferences, trade fairs and exhibitions and large-scale business events involving external audiences, and bingo venues.
For indoor live music, drama, live entertainment and sporting events, the audience/spectators should be fully seated.
Easing of capacity limit restrictions does not apply to large privately organised social events.
So can I throw a party for 100 fully vaccinated adults on 21 September?
The easing of capacity limits seems to apply to the 6 Sept rules but not the post 21 September rules?
They can sit at one big table and move around as at an ordinary party?
But the rules for indoor restaurants are much more restrictive
www.gov.ie
A maximum of 6 persons aged 13 or over are permitted at a table.
Mingling between tables is not allowed.
You should wear a face mask at all times other than when sitting at your table. All staff will continue to wear appropriate PPE including face masks at all times
