DUBLIN - Ireland's restaurant lobby group called on Monday for the government to shut the entire industry down, as it has already done with pubs.

Unable to implement the"social distancing" measures, many pubs announced voluntary closures before the government shutdown, and restaurants around the country have followed suit, as cautious customers stay at home and tourists stay away. Cummins estimated that 70,000 staff would lose their jobs if all restaurants shut and expected that 30,000 workers already had. Pub owners' group the Licensed Vintners Association said on Sunday that 50,000 jobs would be affected by the pub closures.
