Government Being Urged To Give Hospitality Businesses Re-Opening Date Ahead Of Summer Season

It is expected hotels will be allowed to welcome guests in June as part of an easing of restrictions

According to reports, a new state-backed scheme will be launched to encourage people to choose staycations over foreign holidays.

Supports for the hospitality sector are also set to be extended into the summer months.

Frankie Moran, General Manager of Aran Islands Camping & Glamping, says they need certainty:

"It's been a very stressful year. We are just itching to go. We really want people to visit and see our products and and enjoy the islands. And you know, my predictions for the summer will be, you know, we're fully booked from June 1 straight through till the end of September. We just need the government to give us a date, so we can just open and get back to work."
