Businesses Asked To Review Safety Measures As They Prepare To Reopen For First Time This Year

Hairdressers, barbers and beauticians will reopen when restrictions ease on Monday

Click-and-collect retail can also return, along with appointment-only shopping in stores. 

The inter-county travel ban will also be scrapped, but Junior Business Minister, Robert Troy, says caution is needed:

"Businesses have been eagerly awaiting this day, and they want to reopen and they want to ensure that they can continue opened. The best way to do that is by continuing to adhere to the public health advice and adhere to the protocols that have been worked out by the representative bodies in conjunction with the HSE."
