Many Kildare businesses are getting set to reopen this week, after the Government’s reopening roadmap was announced on Thursday.
Hairdressers, barbers and beauticians can start seeing clients again from next Monday, May 10. Click and collect retail will also open from that date, while remaining non-essential retail services can resume from Monday, May 17.
Hotels and other outdoor accommodation services can reopen in early June, as can outdoor drinking and dining - with the return of indoor bars and nightclubs expected later this summer. While many Kildare businesses and amenities will have to wait a little while longer to reopen, two local tourist attractions were thrilled to welcome back visitors last week.
