Ease of Restrictions See Queues Form Outside Hairdressers, Gym's and Clothes Shops

Ireland’s second lockdown ends today as non-essential retail outlets, churches, gyms, hairdressers and other businesses open their doors for the first time in six weeks. 

But how are you feeling about the ease of restrictions? 

Deputy CMO Ronan Glynn said on Monday  

“Just because you can do things tomorrow doesn’t mean you should’’ 

The Government confirmed that restaurants and gastropubs will not be allowed to take bookings for office parties or other business-related gatherings when they open on Friday, under new rules presented to Ministers. 

There is a buzz in the capital today and queues forming from early morning outside Hairdressers, Gyms and other businesses.
