Retailers and hotels welcome plans to speed up reopening sectors

The retail and hospitality sectors have welcomed the news that the government is accelerating Ireland's progress through the roadmap to reopen the country and the economy.
The new plan allows for all shops to be able to open from Monday, the Taoiseach said, provided they stagger opening hours to reduce the burden on public transport; maintain distancing; and dedicate opening hours to older and medically vulnerable people. Shopping centres, meanwhile, can open from June 15.
