, Cummins was asked about reports of people critical of the new indoor hospitality rules block booking pubs and restaurants with no attention of showing up.
On whether he had come across the issue with members of his association, Cummins said:"Yes, it's a huge issue over the last 48 hours. "Since the announcement around the reopening of indoor hospitality, we've seen fake bookings coming in at a rate of knots into businesses to book up tables to try and disrupt our reopening plans for hospitality."I think the businesses need to be aware of that. I think they have to have their own internal policies around how they take reservations.
"They may take credit cards just to make sure that there's a genuine booking going forward as a deposit scheme. That's their own decision.Cummins' then reminded people that some businesses have been closed for 496 days."They just want to get open and get trading again, meet their customers that they haven't seen in about 15, 16 months. That's what they want to do," the restaurant chief added.
