They're being asked to close before other non-essential retail.
The government is being asked to clarify why the hospitality industry is being closed before others.
The Midlands Park Hotel in Portlaoise is one of dozens across the region that are being forced to closed their doors at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, under Level 5 restrictions.
General Manager, Dara Cruise says they're trying to safely facilitate as many bookings as possible before then - with up on 500 people set to dine in their two restaurants before Christmas.
Their 120 staff are now also facing unemployment.
Mr. Cruise says the transmission of covid-19 in hotels, bars and restaurants is only 0.1 per cent, so is looking for more data to be released by government:
