The Westmeath boys are questioning why they can play in the UK, but not here.
Representatives of the live music and entertainment sector will meet with the Arts Minister this afternoon on the return of concerts and festivals.
The sector has been shut here since March 2020, despite gigs being held in Northern Ireland.
Ahead of the meeting, the government's being accused of lacking respect to workers in the industry.
Lead singer of Westmeath band The Academic, Craig Fitzgerald, says they can play music festivals in the UK, but they want to perform here again:
