Nightclubs are demanding to know whether they can open their doors again next Friday.
As part of a final lifting of Covid restrictions, nightclubs and late venues are due to reopen on October 22nd, while the Covid vaccine cert requirement is due to be abolished.

But the government will make a final decision on Tuesday, due to the worsening Covid situation.
The five-day moving average has increased by 50 per cent in the past week - and now stands at 1,580.
But nightclub promoter Buzz O'Neill says the nightclub economy deserve to know the Government's plans.
"We're starring down the barrel of finding out 72 hours at best, possibly 48 hours what guidelines and what infrastructure will be needed."
He said the lack of information is unacceptable for business.
