The sector has been effectively shut down since March 2020.

The live music and entertainment industry is at risk of losing staff due to a lack of roadmap to reopen the sector, according to Mullingar's Bressie.

The sector has been effectively shut since March 2020, with gigs and festivals cancelled due to the pandemic.
