That's according to well-known Galway restaurateur Jp McMahon who is calling for a more balanced discussion on how to reopen eateries.

Jp McMahon, who owns Aniar, Cava and Tartare says enforcing a 2-metre distance between customers will force restaurants to operate at a loss.

He says enforcing these measures will lead to a sharp drop in revenue at these establishments and up to 75 percent of staff could face redundancy.
