BREAKING: Kildare, Laois & Offaly locked down for a fortnight

Residents banned from travelling outside their county, restaurants, cafes, gyms closed, indoor gatherings limited to six people and creches can remain open 

Businesses in Kildare are worried that a strict lockdown will wipe them out.

Hotels and B&Bs are already experiencing cancellations.

Cafe Owner Tanya Ward thinks efforts to wear masks and socially distance would be better in the town.
