Some members of the Oireachtas Health Committee say they're totally unhappy with the detail given by health officials on the bill.

Opposition politicians have branded the indoor dining legislation as "illogical, stupid and unworkable".

Some members of the Oireachtas Health Committee, on which sits Kildare TD, Bernard Durkan, say they're totally unhappy with the detail given by health officials on the bill.

However, they voted to waive the usual pre-legislative scrutiny on the bill by a margin of 8 to 6 - allowing it to proceed to the Dáil.

Our Political Correspondent Seán Defoe reports:

Labour leader Alan Kelly says it's very clear this legislation isn't going to work


People Before Profit's Richard Boyd Barrett says there needs to be proper debate about the legislation rather than rushing it through this week
