Unvaccinated people are set to be given access to indoor dining if they get a negative Covid-19 test.
NPHET has recommended indoor service in pubs and restaurants should only be open to fully vaccinated people.
But the Business Post reports the government is expected to include a testing element with any Covid pass.
Padraig Cribben, chief executive of the Vintners Federation of Ireland, doesn't believe the system is practical.
He says there are a host of reasons why only letting vaccinated people dine indoors is unworkable, including questions over whether young children should be allowed into a restaurant with their vaccinated parents.
