A group representing workers in the nightlife sector says there will be a surge in unregulated events if nightclubs and music events remain closed.
It’s written a letter to the Taoiseach, Tánaiste and Arts Minister about their concerns.
Irish venues, nightclubs and music events are being disregarded, and more closures are certain if this continues. We wrote to @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar @cathmartingreen laying out a range of necessary measures to help our industry reopen safely and swiftly. pic.twitter.com/cDstl6fCP1

In their letter they the nightlife industry is the only remaining sector without any date for return.
It comes after Laois County Council refused to grant a licence for Electric Picnic.
Sunil Sharpe from the Give Us the Night campaign says the sector has no intention of "pointing fingers".
"We just want to be given a chance like everybody else, it's time to put a plan in place."
