In his role as chief executive of the Restaurants Association of Ireland (RAI), Adrian Cummins has tirelessly advocated and cajoled the Government for support, not just for his 3,000 members countrywide, but for thousands of other restaurants, coffee shops and various eateries across the hospitality industry. He frequently appears on TV and radio, particularly in times of crisis as is the case now for restaurants and cafes with rising costs, taxes, wages, and warehoused debt from the Covid-19 lockdowns.
